Storytelling Workshop Outline

Intro: FOP Intro, How We’ll Learn, Aha’s Woohoo’s & Huh’s.
Opening Activity: A Story. Broken Stories (Story Swap). Why Is Storytelling Important?
Big Idea: Stories are universally impactful! (So let’s use them more)

KEY SKILL 1:
Thinking About the Audience

Content: Identifying the CCI’s (capacities, concerns and interests) of your audience, & how those are different from the speaker’s CCI’s
Sample Games: Changing Places/Near-Far, Interesting Email, My Story, Quintriplets (common/differences)
Discussion: If I were them…(If you were your target audience, what would be your capacities, concerns, and interests?). Relevant stories?

KEY SKILL 2:
Getting Audience to Listen

Content: Framing: Tell people why and how they should listen to what you’re about to say. Uncertainty makes it difficult/impossible to focus.
Sample Games: Story Half Life, Headlines, Swedish Storytelling, The Translator, Snapshotz, Improv PPT
Discussion (Partners/Group Share): Framing/Doorbell Tool. What is your story’s ‘Why’ or headline? Listener’s barriers to remove?

KEY SKILL 3:
Helping Audience Understand

Content: Speaker brain vs audience brain. How to make it “real” for the audience using sense experience and relevant examples
Sample Games: 3 Corner Story, Show & Tell, WGAA (TV Informercials), Rumors
Discussion (Partners/Group Share): ‘Wish You Were Here’ – Describe your sense experience/relevant examples. Where/when can you use storytelling @ work?
Playful Finale*: Storytimez – A 30-minute Experiential Activity to round out the PLAYshop! Each person will create their own great ‘story’ using art & the tools we learned in the PLAYshop. Some people will share their engaging stories with the group.
Wrap Up: All Playshops include a Recap, Takeaways, and HomePlay!

Storytelling Workshop FAQ

Who should attend the storytelling PLAYshop?

The Storytelling PLAYshop is ideal for:
-Client-facing teams (sales, customer service, etc.)
-Leadership teams who rely on effective communication
-Companies that sell aspirational products/services or operate in high-relationship industries
This workshop helps participants refine their messaging, communicate complex ideas clearly, and create emotional engagement with key stakeholders.

How does storytelling improve team communication?

Storytelling goes beyond just delivering information – it’s about creating an emotional connection. When teams use storytelling, they don’t just share data; they share experiences that resonate with others. This helps improve communication by making messages more memorable, engaging, and easier to understand, ultimately fostering deeper team connections and collaboration.

What can I expect from a storytelling PLAYshop session?

Course content for each Storytelling PLAYshop includes:
-An introduction to the science behind storytelling and why it’s effective.
-Interactive games designed to enhance key skills, such as understanding your audience and creating engaging stories.
-Playful activities that help participants build trust, craft compelling narratives, and use storytelling in real-life scenarios.
For workshops over 3 hours, you’ll also experience a PLAYful Finale, where participants create and share their own physical stories using the tools they’ve learned.
