Storytelling and Talking Frogs PowerPoint

I thoroughly enjoyed the day at the ASTD Atlanta ACE2012 Conference and Expo, August 20th 2012.  Met some interesting and gracious people. Enjoyed some fine sessions and walked way with good ideas, good connections, and good feelings.

In particular I appreciated the help and support of a few people in my session, Storytelling and Talking Frogs.  Kelly McMichael was with me from the beginning and delivered a great segment to demonstrate the power of a great story.  Clare, Holly, Andy, Ray, Laurie, all accepted my request for improve acting, storytelling, and comedy.  Incredibly brave and they came through better than I could hope for.

When we present our message, in an interview, a staff meeting, a training session, or a formal presentation, the process is the same.  We set the mood for the message, we create the story and let it unfold, and we create a call to action. We use theater, storytelling, and hypnotic suggestion to create the ideal learning opportunity - because when we present our message we want to change actions, behavior, hearts and minds And if we believe in the message we are morally obligated to do the best we can.

This is the PowerPoint presentation I used. All the embeds may not run when you open it.
