Course Description
PEOPLE THINK, FEEL, AND ACT IN STORIES. LEARN TO HARNESS THAT POWER.
Stories shape how we perceive the world, how we connect with others, and how we remember experiences.
From myths and legends to brand missions, songs, and even gossip. Everything revolves around storytelling.
When you learn to craft a story that touches emotions, engages people, and leaves a lasting impression, you gain real influence.
Want to be able to tell your story in a way that captivates and inspires?
This course teaches storytelling in two transformative ways:
Master the story arc: Learn the essential story elements to structure compelling narratives.
Create vivid imagery: Use creative writing and vocal techniques to spark emotions, connect with your audience, and leave an unforgettable impact.
Take the power of storytelling and make it work for you in business, personal branding, or everyday communication.
USE EMOTIONS FOR PERSUASION
People make decisions emotionally much more than logically. That's why great storytelling is about painting a picture in someone's mind and making them see things your way. In this course, you'll learn how to create imagery with your writing and make people see your vision in addition to responding to facts and figures.
This way, what you communicate will feel right, and people will be more open to logical arguments and taking action in the direction you want them to.
USE STORYTELLING IN THESE SETTINGS
Impress at a job interview
With corporate team-building
Help people know you better in personal relationships
Create better business presentations
Storytelling using video
Make more convincing arguments that have true emotional appeal
Tell your personal brand story
Tell your corporate brand story better
Use storytelling and imagery in creative writing like songs or poems
FILLED WITH STORYTELLING EXERCISES AND OPPORTUNITIES TO PRACTICE
Many of the videos give you a chance to create your own stories and compare them with how I'd write them. This makes the course more interactive and helps you test your own storytelling.
I made this storytelling course to be immediately applicable and practical, so don't just learn the storytelling techniques in this course, but also practice them in the course exercises and in your professional writing. You'll become great through practice. Yes, anyone can learn this.
Storytelling follows a very clear structure while allowing for creativity and personal touch.
ADJUST TO DIFFERENT STORYTELLING MEDIUMS: TEXT, VIDEO, AUDIO, PRESENTATIONS
Learn how to adjust your stories for different mediums ranging from YouTube videos to in-person job interviews to writing. Today, we share our stories in so many ways: video, audio-only formats, text, PowerPoint presentations, and even animations. Even video alone can range from under-60-second clips to 5-minute clips to full movies, which allows for different story structures
The different mediums mean that we must be able to change our story format seamlessly while still communicating our story message.
For that, we must have crystal clear focus on the essence of our message in our storytelling, and create that imagery to help our audience connect logically and emotionally.
CORPORATE BRAND STORYTELLING
Many corporate brands have cheesy-sounding stories that are not only not-too-believable, but feel disingenuous. That defeats the purpose of working on your storytelling, and actually backfires. Such storytelling errors are also very difficult to catch because your clients don't come to you to say that your brand storytelling turned them off, they just don’t buy anymore.
In this course, we'll focus on sensitive and realistic storytelling that will resonate with your clients, and win over their hearts in addition to their minds.
YOU ALREADY TELL STORIES, NOW MAKE THEM UNFORGETTABLE
You’re already a storyteller. Every day, in conversations, at work, or in casual chats, you share stories without even realizing it. This course will show you how to make those stories more engaging, impactful, and memorable.
You’ll discover how storytelling shapes every part of life, from work presentations to personal connections, and how simple and practical it is to master, no matter how abstract it might seem at first.
I know this because I started where you are. I couldn’t hold someone’s attention for more than a few seconds. But by learning how to craft compelling stories, I built a personal brand that led to millions of dollars in business deals. My students have achieved the same transformative results.
This is a skill that will change how you connect, communicate, and achieve success in all areas of life. It’s probably going to be one of the most important tools you’ll ever learn.
WHAT YOU’LL BE ABLE TO DO AFTER THIS COURSE
Craft stories that grab attention and resonate with your audience.
Use storytelling to influence decisions and inspire action in business and personal life.
Build stronger connections with colleagues, clients, and your community.
Create compelling brand stories that set you apart from competitors.
Shine in job interviews by sharing your experiences with clarity and confidence.
Present ideas, data, and arguments in a way that’s both persuasive and memorable.
Turn dry facts into engaging narratives that people actually care about.
WHY NOW?
The ability to tell great stories is timeless, but the opportunities to stand out have never been greater.
STORYTELLING FOR YOUR PERSONAL BRAND AND CAREER
Throughout your career, you'll portray yourself in a certain way: as a quick learner, an honest person, a good teammate, etc. There are many traits that you can choose to include in your personal brand. In this course, we'll also go over how to portray yourself the way you want to be seen by peers and co-workers.

Absolutely a great match. I'm honestly sitting here smiling. The content so far is is increasing my curiosity. I can't wait for the next chapters. I love how it is presented with heart and allowing me to learn. I love how it's thought provoking and illicit emotions by how you relay a story.

I am an overly long-winded storyteller who wants to break that habit! The section where the instructor tells his "origin story" appears to be in my style - i was totally bored and lost interest! I guess that give me a good reference for what my audience experiences but it felt like a waste of time.

Very human way of approaching the topic of storytelling and there were some examples of how to use it in a Corporate Setting. I'm using it to leverage PowerPoint presentation design and corporate storytelling - this is not his strength, he is more relates or for small businesses and entrepreneurs, but still valuable! Thank you Alex!

Thanks Alex! The first part of the course was very good, but the last part covering parasite words was a bit repetitive for me because I'm a professional writer who knows all about fluff. I hadn't learned much about corporate storytelling before, but this course was a great introduction to that topic.

Insightful storytelling course. I feel that I can do a better job with my storytelling in meetings, in presentations, and how I present myself. I now understand how to create great imagery in my stories that help people see what I am talking about, and inspire with my storytelling.
By Anonymized User on 7/20/2024
Helpful storytelling course teaching how to write by using compelling imagery that evokes emotion in the reader or listener in order for them to feel much more connected to the story and my message, and be able to influence people through storytelling in a much stronger way. I like also the slice of life storytelling from classic literature examples.

there could be better presentations technique which could be shared plus the story telling technique how to be used while designing a presentation and how to relate slides in a way they should look like a complete story plus how to represent the numbers in a infographical story telling way to convey the message
By Anonymized User on 2/10/2024
I am enjoying this storytelling course. I like how storytelling is treated as an art form similar to creative writing or poetry, and the core inspirational principles are explained. Now I understand how to inspire emotion with my business storytelling.
By Anonymized User on 12/16/2023
Good storytelling course. I am learning at a good pace, starting with the basics, so it's easy for me to follow, and I am looking forward to being a better storyteller.
By Pearle Seymour on 6/25/2022
Very good content and I am looking forward to how the course unfolds. The thing that lets it down is the visuals. He talks about how important visual imagery is but the slides he uses are not good at all.
