About the Course
An avanced group course for a maximum of 6 candidates, run over 1 day. You can choose from three courses, A, B or C. Each course covers it's own modules, all with an advance lens. Please see the main page for full details of the courses and modules.
In this Course B, you'll cover two modules - storytelling structure and speech mapping. This course leans heavily into structuring stories and talks to enhance your learning and recall of your content for delivery, and for better audience impact and journey experience. We'll look at the complementarity of stories and talks, and dive into the craft of writing an engaging story and managing a coherent flow in your talk structure.
Please note that the Storytelling Structure Module, will not cover delivery. For this, please see the advanced course 'C' which includes the module, storytelling delivery.
Advanced courses are for more experienced speakers who feel they have a good grasp of the basics of public speaking, including voices tools, body language and the basics of fear management and audience work. The most natural progression with The Talking Game, would be to complete a L2 (intermediate) course before taking on an advanced course.
Running over 1 day for 6 hours, this course has limited time to workshop the theory, though it will be fun, interactive and designed to broaden your comfort zone. If you feel you'd benefit from more time to put the theory into practice, please see the 2 day version of this course.
