SUMMARY:VEI Storytelling Intensive
DESCRIPTION:Ignite Your Business With Storytelling: An Intensive Workshop \nTHIS WORKSHOP IS CURRENTLY FULL. Stay tuned for a second storytelling class later this year. \nWe are thrilled to announce this unique opportunity for qualified Veteran-led companies: Ignite Your Business With Storytelling on October 18\, 2024\, at Groundswell Startups\, 2412 Irwin St\, Melbourne\, FL 32901. \nStorytelling is a powerful business tool and a skill that every entrepreneur should seek to master. Unfortunately\, most of us struggle to communicate our business ideas\, visions\, and values when it comes to telling our stories. This lack of story cohesion confuses clients and prevents them from establishing an emotional connection with you and your brand. \nThis doesn’t have to be the case. \nOur Business Storytelling Retreat is an intensive workshop designed to teach you the power of storytelling and inspire you to confidently communicate the value you deliver to others. You’ll shape your experiences and ideas into engaging narratives and learn to deliver them with absolute clarity. \nBy attending our retreat\, you’ll learn how to: \n\nCraft stories that connect with others\nImplement a repeatable storytelling framework in your business\nCommunicate with other entrepreneurs about your ideas and experiences\nGain the confidence needed to share stories effectively\nApply your stories in real-world business scenarios\n\nYour story can make or break the relationships you build with your clients. Register now for a chance to tell your story the right way. Open to qualified veteran-led companies. Seats are very limited\, apply today: \nWho: CEO or C-Suite Executive of a Veteran-Led Company \nWhen: October 18\, 2024 \nWhere: Groundswell Startups\, 2412 Irwin St\, Melbourne\, FL 32901 \nCost: Complimentary for qualified Veteran-Led Companies\, thanks to our great partners \nAbout the presenter: Stan Miller \nI (Stan Miller) haven’t had a textbook career journey. When I started down the sales path working for a telecommunications giant\, I was coming in with no college education and no credentials. But humbling early life experiences have taught me the importance of an exceptional work ethic and instilled in me a strong desire to win\, bringing me to my current role as Founder of Storicate. (https://www.storicate.com/) \nCombining my background with what I’ve learned in my sales-centered experiences\, I’ve discovered a consistent\, critical piece of the process: storytelling. Whether you’re part of a company selling a service or figuring out the next step in your career timeline\, our stories are at the heart of everything we do; they’re who we are\, and how we communicate our value to others. \nDeveloping a framework to help people explain their career stories has become my passion. Why? Because I spent most of my life focused on experience\, education\, and accomplishments and none of it mattered if I couldn’t articulate it. I’ve provided support and guidance for over 3000 people – from recent college grads to C-Level executives – in my workshops and one-on-one coaching sessions. I’ve found a niche in helping people recognize their potential so that they can achieve greatness in their careers. \nFrom not knowing if college was ever going to be an option to graduating with a Bachelor’s degree in Media Communications from Full Sail University in 2018\, from no experience to leadership positions\, it’s been rewarding to see my own narrative take shape. I’d love to hear your story and help you communicate it\, so let’s connect! \nLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stanmiller/ Insta/Facebook @careerstoryteller \n
