What You Told Us

ALI Conferences ran a survey asking internal communicators what area of storytelling they would like more training on. The results are the following to be covered during this virtual event:

  • Best storytelling format – 48%
  • Avoiding storytelling overload – 23%
  • Communicating sincerely – 18%
  • Multi-brand synchronization – 11%

Aside from these aspects, what else makes a great storyteller? A few commonalities are:

  • Simplicity. The best stories are easy and simple to remember. If your audience has to spend precious time interpreting everything, their attention can be easily lost.
  • Emotionality. Some of the most inspirational and impactful stories offer an emotion to really connect with the audience.
  • Honesty. An honest story has a bigger impact than a story of fiction. If the storyteller believes what they are saying, it shows!

What You Will Learn
