WORKSHOP A4
Story Telling
Join Dr Lester Levy for an introduction into Story Telling.
“Presentations consisting of facts and figures are quickly forgotten. If you’re lucky, people might remember 15% of such a presentation – but they remember 85% or more of a story, ten, twelve, even twenty years later. Stories offer a powerful boost to understanding, and they also help with application and action.”
Facilitator:
Dr Lester Levy
