What participants say about Storytelling

"Saar explains the theory with a great deal of passion and uses good practical examples. The course alternates between theory and exercises. The exercises are challenging and afterwards you receive constructive feedback from both the trainer and the other participants. In short: a great course, which I can recommend to anyone!"

Participant

"A course that more than lived up to my expectations. An intensive but very enjoyable course, in which you learn a method for telling your story in a compelling way and holding the audience's attention. Through exercises (in a small, safe group) you put what you have learnt straight into practice. Very instructive, and immediately applicable in practice."

Participant

"A nice, practical course that you can immediately put to use in practice."

Frequently asked questions about Storytelling in-company

Where does the in-company course Storytelling take place?

Wherever suits you: at your office, at one of our training locations or online. You also choose the date.

Can the content be tailored to our organisation?

Yes. Before the course we discuss with you what the group can already do, where things go wrong in practice and what should be different afterwards. The trainer uses examples and exercises from your own work.

How large can the group be?

That depends on the course. For a skills course we prefer to work with a small group, so that everyone can really practise. If more people are involved, we schedule several groups or set up a fixed programme.

What does Storytelling in-company cost?

You get a fixed price for the whole group, in a tailored quotation. For a group this works out cheaper than registering everyone individually. For comparison: a place on the scheduled course costs EUR 625,- excl. VAT per participant.

Can the course be delivered in English?

Yes. For in-company courses we deliver the training in the language of your choice, Dutch or English. Mention it in your request.

Do participants receive a certificate?

Yes, every participant receives a certificate of attendance afterwards.

How do I request a quote?

Via the quote form: state the course, the number of participants and roughly where and when you would like it. An adviser will then contact you.

Who is the Storytelling course suitable for?
The Storytelling course is suitable for anyone who wants to convey a message more powerfully through a story. Think of entrepreneurs, marketers, communications professionals, managers and speakers who want to make their organisation or themselves visible. You do not need any specific prior education. Do you want to enthuse customers, captivate an audience or tell your story more confidently? Then this classroom course fits your learning objectives well.
Do you need prior knowledge for the Storytelling course?
No, no specific prior knowledge is required for the Storytelling course. The course is suitable for anyone who wants to learn to tell a more engaging story, whether you are an entrepreneur, marketer, manager or professional. During an individual intake beforehand, you discuss your learning objectives and experience, so that the programme of this classroom course matches your starting point and your day-to-day practice.
Which topics are covered during the Storytelling course?
During the Storytelling course you learn what you want to convey, how to build a story with a beginning, middle and end, and how to tell a story in a compelling way. You will also discover which stories you have to tell and how to spread them to your audience. This classroom course alternates between theory and practical exercises and reflection.
Do you receive a certificate after the Storytelling course?
Yes, after completing the Storytelling course you receive a certificate of participation. You receive this when you have attended the full course day. The certificate confirms that you have followed the classroom course and have practised the techniques covered in story structure, storytelling skills and audience-focused communication.
Is the Storytelling course taught in a classroom or online?
The Storytelling course is taught in a classroom setting. You train together with other participants in a small group, guided by an experienced trainer. The classroom format suits the nature of storytelling: you practise telling stories live, receive immediate feedback and experience the effect of your story on a real audience.
When should you choose a classroom Storytelling course instead of a book or an online course?
You learn storytelling mainly by doing, by practising in front of a group and by getting direct feedback on your story, your voice and your body language. You will not get that from a book or an e-learning. Choose the classroom course if you want to practise your story out loud, experience how your audience reacts and learn how to build up interaction. During the course you alternate between experiencing, experimenting with techniques, reflecting and theory. A book or online course is more suitable if you only want to understand the theory, for example the structure of a story or the importance of emotion. Do you actually want to become a storyteller who holds an audience? Then practising in a group is more effective than self-study.
What do you learn in Learnit's Storytelling course that you won't get from a book or a YouTube video?
Learnit's Storytelling course is one in which you actively practise telling stories to an audience, including direct feedback from an experienced trainer and fellow participants. A book or video explains the theory (beginning-middle-end, protagonist, dramatic arc, emotion), but you only notice what works when you tell the story yourself and see how listeners respond. During the course you alternate between experiencing, experimenting with techniques, reflecting and theory. You practise with your own story about yourself or your organisation, including the struggles that make the story interesting. You also learn how to seek interaction with your audience. The course lasts
How do I know whether my story really sticks with my audience after this course?
During the Storytelling course you actively practise with the structure of a story (beginning, middle, end), a protagonist, a narrative arc and evoking emotion. These are the elements that make a story stick, rather than a list of facts. You will also discover why it is precisely the struggles in a story that make your message interesting, and not the superlatives. Whether your story really sticks is something you notice in practice: you measure the effect by the reaction of your audience, the interaction that arises and the connection people feel with you or your organisation. The course is set up as a classroom course so that you receive immediate feedback on your own story and can experiment with new behaviour. Costs: for
