Synopsis

When working with groups or individual leaders, telling stories of what has been possible can deliver amazing results. Many of the best staff developers, trainers, and presenters tell stories. While many professionals walk away forgetting the facts (data and tables that flashed on the screen), they walk away remembering the stories that were told. The more options for conversation, the quicker we resolve issues. Busy leaders and trainers can use the many resources in Setting the Stage for Learning: Activating the Power of Stories to Facilitate Learning to increase impact and readiness for important topics. These resources will save leaders time because the stories, videos, quotes, and questions are readily available.
