His most recent film was 'The Warning'. Made in 2016, it tells the extraordinary story of how the CIA and their Russian counterparts the GRU teamed up for 6 years in the 1990's to recruit the world's top scientists and grant them access to intelligence platforms and data to study climate change.

Even though it is presented in a relaxed style, so far its the most professional start to a course I have seen.

This is the best Story telling video/course I have taken so far.

Erg interessante en leerzame cursus, waarbij de spreker het op een leuke en informatieve manier uitlegt.

I'm a business storyteller, working in safety - I have learnt that storytelling inside a company about "heros" that overcome status quo can connect people together to contribute to the larger "theme" of the business - individual, personal stories of individuals that risked themselves to bring about change actually can create social change, culture change and a new norm - this course helped me visualize this more and structure a business story telling strategy to improve workforce engagement

This was certainly challenging. A wide range of concepts are covered in great detail. Examples provide illustrations of how to use the knowledge. Very well taught.

Good

I produce both music and videos. I could knock out my client's work no issues, but always seemed to struggle with my own original works. Then I came across this Storytelling Masterclass. Because of this class I could clearly see I was paying too much attention to the tools and techniques and not enough on the emotional and psychological connections. It's ironic how I coach artists to do that, but really need to take my own advice! Thank you Paul for your wisdom and insights. I now have produced two original songs in the matter of a few days. I, now, have my Lodestar.

I like the instructor's delivery.

It was quite an amazing course, a lot of skills and information on story writing was weaved in just a short duration by the author. A lifelong tool to go back every time you get stuck and introspect on your own skill.

By Irena Reek on 10/18/2020

It openes so much questions about stories and characters and everything, so it makes you go deeper in it and make it more true and appealing.
