By Kerri Garbis

Business Etiquette Expert, Emotional Intelligence Expert
Author and Professional Actress

When was the last time a presentation made you sit up and take notice? Did that presenter tell you a story? Storytelling is the most effective way to get a message across to any audience. It allows you to connect emotionally with your listeners, persuade them more easily, and garner the results you want.

This highly interactive session is tailored to career women and business owners. Kerri will introduce you to the six major components needed for a complete story, the different types of stories you can tell, and where/when to tell a story. You will learn how to present with poise and engage your audience in a positive, memorable manner as well as the professional’s go-to techniques for conquering stage fright. Time-tested storytelling techniques will be applied to modern day storytelling for your business and career.
