The Human Factor: How to Tell Stories that Create Genuine Client Connection
June 11, 2020 @ 8:00 pm – 9:30 pm CEST
Time to integrate real storytelling into your communication as a way to grow your purpose-based business!
As we move through the shock waves and uncertainties created by COVID-19, storytelling is now more important than ever. Storytelling is the lynchpin of all human communication and being able to tell an authentic story is an essential navigation tool to help us find our way through the uncharted territory of daily life.
Now is the time to integrate real storytelling into your communication as a way to grow your purpose-based business around building relationships and community, instead of relying on the conventional hustle-and-hype approach that only adds more noise to an already loud world.
Real storytelling is about returning to the essence of how and why we communicate with each other: we tell each other stories to connect with and understand each other at a human-to-human level.
What you will learn in this workshop
This workshop will provide you with the essential skills on how to tell a genuine, hustle-free story, specifically for business. It will take you through the basic pattern of story and how to connect with your audience through the skills of storytelling.
Instead of learning how to craft dramatic storylines according to complicated story structures that are driven by super-heroes, you will learn how to tell a meaningful, engaging story, based on the elements of an interactive, engaging conversation, i.e. listening, reflecting & responding.
This workshop is for you, if:
you’re curious to learn more about how storytelling can help you grow a sustainable, ethical business
you’ve no previous experience of storytelling and you don’t know where to start
you’ve already dabbled in books and freebies about storytelling, but it seemed too complex, too vague or too contrived
you’re suspicious about the way storytelling is being used as a manipulative marketing tool that is not aligned with the up-front, honest way you communicate with your clients
you want to learn the basic storytelling skills to help you communicate in a way that reflects your way of doing business
Workshop Details
This is an intensive 90-minute live, online workshop. The workshop combines a short introduction into the essential elements of story, followed by a hands-on section on the skills of putting these elements together, a.k.a. storytelling. In the final section, you will have an opportunity to ask questions about the different applications of storytelling to your business.
Here’s the outcome I want for you from my workshop
At the end of the workshop, you’ll have the basic skills to tell a short, meaningful story to take away & practise in the various ways you communicate with your audience.

Testimonials:
I’d been working on my website for ages, but it just didn’t sound like me or tell people how unique my work is. Working with Carmel got me right back in touch with my story and the value of connecting with it to reach the right people. I immediately identified the simple, honest reasons why I do what I do and why that matters to my clients. (Josh Bauman, Artist and Illustrator)
When you do something technical it’s hard to explain it in a way that doesn’t make people switch off immediately. Working with Carmel was one of the best investments we made as a young business. Not only did we learn how to simplify our pitch for the audience, but we also understood the value of our own work. (Joanna, CEO of Zixio)
Workshop Facilitator:
I’m Carmel Finnan, a Storytelling Consultant for small businesses, freelancers & creatives who want to make a difference through their work. I’ll help you move beyond the salesy sleaze of mainstream marketing and create real client connection through genuine story-based conversations.
