Storytelling is one of the vital components to a presentation

For generations, experiences of  hardship, valour and successes  were retold through nursery rhymes, songs and stories. With every story, brought a challenge, and a change/learning for the main character.  Your product or service can be that change for your audience!  A well-crafted story is the anchor that helps your audience to engage, connect and remember you and your product/service.

If you want to become a presenter who can inspire and engage others with your stories – this workshop ‘Mastering the pieces to Storytelling’ can help you to transform your experiences into compelling business stories.  You will learn to breathe life into your stories and create captivating content, which will keep your audiences leaning on your every word.

I recently attended Karen's workshop on 'Mastering the Pieces of Storytelling'. The workshop was seamlessly run, filled with lots of great and practical tips and was very interactive - which I found really effective with regard to enforcing the many take aways. I would highly recommend this workshop and any program being run by Karen. She is an excellent coach with a huge bank of knowledge and experience. Through her enthusiasm, attention to detail and her clear and highly skilled communication style, she creates an atmosphere of fun and a forum that you will take a huge amount away from. Thanks Karen!

Story telling is a topic I'm very passionate about. I love learning about this topic so attended one of Karen's workshops after hearing her speak at one of my events. I loved the simplicity in which she taught the group how to construct a story to show it not tell it. Karen's book also helped me overcome a challenge I had for over 20 years. A lady of many talents with a warm friendly personality. I highly recommend Karen as a speaker and coach.

Karen is an excellent teacher. I participated in her Mastering the Pieces of Storytelling, in which she broke the components of a good story into a very understandable and usable format, which greatly improves a speech's flow and content. It's a very enjoyable class with easy and fun group participation.

I attended Karen’s Storytelling Workshop on Zoom recently and learnt so much in just 2 hours. It was really enjoyable and Karen laid out the steps so clearly that they were easy to follow. We had fun putting the pieces together and I was really surprised that we could produce a story so quickly. I came away with a real sense of achievement knowing that I had been given the tools to construct a great story.
