What is Transformational Business Communication (TBC)?
TBC combines conversational intelligence with narrative intelligence in business. In other words, it’s all about upgrading your speaking and storytelling skills so you can move confidently into your future, and make a bigger difference in the world. It’s about…
Impact. Influence. Vision. Change.
Accelerate your career. Accelerate your results. Accelerate your organization.
Interaction is the bedrock for building your transformational communication and storytelling skills. Because you can’t upgrade your communication skills by reading a book, listening to a PowerPoint recording, or talking to yourself.
Even in a virtual reality class, there will still be lots of interactions for you to build your skills.
By the time you’re done you’ll:
Hone your conversational intelligence and narrative intelligence to leap forward at work.
Easily have Level 3 transformational story conversations
Apply, test, and grow your transformational communication and storytelling skills at work in real time
Craft 4 different transformational stories in class along with an influential presentation at the end.
Walk away with at least 9 different story structures to use that allow you to shine, spur decision making, enroll people in your project, product, or service, tell the data story, and amplify your vision.
Learn my storytelling hacks to make story crafting and delivery tons easier
Leverage virtual platforms to participate, learn from, work with, and practice with others in class
