Session 1: Superstar Storytelling Secrets
Just as tennis players swing rackets, rock stars trash hotel rooms, speakers share stories.
For professional speakers, storytelling is the magic fuel that drives compelling audience engagement, raving recommendations and endless re-bookings. The authentic, well-told story will always wow. And this masterclass unlocks how.
Get ready to explore the art of storytelling through story structure. Storytelling that has your audience on the edge of their seats. But just as important as knowing when to tell a story is knowing when not to! We'll help you identify those moments and give you alternative options that will keep your audience engaged and entertained.
So, whether you're a seasoned pro looking to refresh your storytelling skills or a new speaker seeking to add some pizzazz, this masterclass will help you connect, engage, and inspire any audience.
During this immersive and experiential session, you will:
- Learn how to craft your stories for speaking magic and get to road test your stories
- Leave with at least two tested and proven stories that you can use immediately in your next keynote.
-
Plus, you will receive the tools you need to continue building a library of stories that will keep your audience coming back for more.
Session 2: X Factor: Unleash your Speaking Superpower
As a speaker, what is your X Factor? Can you articulate it in a statement without using business jargon, a job title or cliches?
And do you know how to use your X factor to:
- connect, engage and inspire your audience?
- move people to action?
- create personal and professional impact?
This masterclass guarantees these outcomes.
As the world’s only economist turned Bollywood-dancing business storyteller, (her X factor!) Yamini Naidu busts the myth that X factor is something you are born with.
It’s not about winning a talent show or becoming the Beyoncé of business, and it’s not the reward of a tiny, exclusive elite. Her research is conclusive. Everyone has X factor potential.
As a professional speaker, your X Factor is your competitive edge and can unlock speaking magic. Your X factor is an expression of you that is rich, distinctive and desirable.
This immersive masterclass helps you unearth your singular X factor and craft it into a statement. You explore how to use your X factor to make your next keynote unforgettable. But wait there’s more! Finding and unleashing your X factor will forever change the impact you have and the shift you create in your professional and personal world.
Warning! This full day radical event is ONLY for speakers who don’t want to just present; but want to create an audience experience. With every presentation you want to transform people, organisations and what’s possible.
Are you ready to become a storytelling superstar?
Are you ready to discover your X factor, to unleash this presentation superpower and for your new speaking superstar future?
Then, register today for the only full-day PSA QLD NT event this year!
