Advanced Communicators Day will feature a local theatre group who will use techniques drawn from storytelling, music and folklore to help participants map out more effective communications strategies, compelling speeches and engaging content.
What’s Your Story?
Effective storytelling at the heart of effective communications work. Hitting the right note with our audience will turn an ok campaign into an excellent campaign, but it takes skill and storycrafting to do this effectively. In this day-long workshop, delegates will learn how to tell their stories with humour, skits and song, in your own hand-made creation guided by veterans of the Newfoundland and Labrador musical theatre community.
