PERSONAL STORIES
Are you ready to transform your personal experiences into compelling stories? Join us for a dynamic 4-hour workshop where you'll dive into the art of storytelling. This interactive session will guide you through crafting and presenting your personal stories with impact, using a proven storytelling framework.

- Identifying a good story from your personal life
- What is a story-arc and how do you build it
- How to keep your audience engaged from beginning to end
- How to identify the pivotal moment (often the climax) of your story
- What are the most important pitfalls when telling a story
- How to create an attention grabbing start and a satisfying end

Or are you someone that thinks they have nothing to tell and needs help identifying stories? Then this workshop is for you!

YOUR FACILITATOR
Oki Alexander studied architecture at the University of Technology in Delft, where he soon discovered that a poor design with a good presentation scored better than a good design with a poor presentation.
When he later developed his career in Learning & Development he realized how these presentation skills helped to get information across more efficiently, especially when it was through a story that conveyed context and meaning.
As the head of R&D with a startup in the field of children's education he started to make stories an integral part of the methodology, and in the process extracted the principles behind telling a good story.
Now, after 20 years in China, he is back in Europe to bring the art and value of storytelling to a broader audience.
