Overview

This introductory workshop will help you develop your storytelling skills.

Being able to tell a good story is essential in influencing people and persuading people to buy what you're selling. You may be trying to get investors to invest in your business, customers to buy your product, or a company to hire you.

In this workshop you’ll discuss well-recognised brands and advertisements, and what you can learn from their success to help you tell your story more effectively.

Who it’s for

Entrepreneurship is for everyone.

This workshop is for students, staff and recent graduates (within 2 years of graduating) who are new to entrepreneurship.

You don't need any business experience or a business idea to attend.

What you’ll learn

In this workshop you’ll study:

  • examples of successful brands and how they tell powerful stories through their associated value propositions
  • the importance of ‘mission’ and ‘why’ at the heart of any business or story
  • how to tell a brand story with a ‘heart over head’ approach that’s genuinely impactful
