Inside this material

Everyone has useful stories, but most people never collect them. This e-learning material begins by helping you build a story bank: moments of challenge, learning, failure and success from your work and life that reveal what you care about and how you think.

The levels then look at structure. You will see how a simple arc of situation, tension, action and outcome keeps listeners engaged, and how to trim a story so it serves the point you want to make. Later levels explore adapting the same story for different audiences and formats, from a two-line social post to a longer keynote opening, while staying honest and respectful of others involved.

By the end, you have a set of polished personal stories matched to specific goals, such as introducing yourself, explaining your business or handling a difficult question, ready to use and refine over time.
