The human brain is hungry for stories.
And when we think of the most influential speakers throughout history, they all used an abundance of metaphors, parables and anecdotes to illustrate what they were saying.
The right story, at the right moment can create profound changes in the listener, where whatever problem or issue they were dealing with suddenly feels so much simpler to deal with.
This training is all about how to develop your confidence and skill in speaking metaphorically, and in telling compelling stories that captivate people's attention.
You'll learn how to expand your own repertoire of stories, so that you have a richer, broader inner library of anecdotes, which you can draw upon and adapt for any situation.
We'll be exploring the strategic use of stories for seeding ideas, for evoking states, and for helping people to see the patterns of their problem from the outside.
And you'll learn performance skills and vocal development techniques to help you to become more naturally engaging and charismatic as a storyteller.
Watch Joe discussing the workshop here:
Joe Kao DHypPsych(UK) is a hypnotherapist and psychotherapist in Cambridge, UK. He is the head writer for hypnosisdownloads.com, one of the world's largest and most highly-regarded websites for hypnosis recordings, and he has taught numerous workshops on therapeutic metaphors, storytelling and Ericksonian hypnosis to people around the world.
Joe has been named the first official trainer of Provocative Change Works, and he has trained extensively in improv theatre, voice work and performance skills.
"A wonderful course! I learnt so much about how storytelling can be used in therapy and coaching in a subtle and understated way. It’s not all about having huge EMBEDDED MESSAGES in a story! In addition, where do we get our stories from? This course opened up a whole world of story material for me, on ways of building a “library” of relevant stories and metaphors.
Joe Kao is an engaging and subtle presenter and storyteller. Anybody doing this this course will be much better placed to understand the potential impact of stories on the listener and how storytelling can fit perfectly in to a broader coaching or therapeutic framework. It’s the kind of course where you learn a lot and at the same time, have a lot of fun".
Michael Shoolbred, retired academic.
"I highly recommend this course. I have thoroughly enjoyed it and each week the time has flown by. After being a part of this I can say I am more able to develop stories to use in the moment. Transformational stories isn’t something you attend and then it’s done. It’s just the beginning of developing a whole vault full of your own stories. Thanks again Pete and Joe".
Lisa Davenport
"Joe Kao’s course in transformational storytelling really delivered, and in a way I was not expecting. I thought I was in for a theory deep course on story structure and linguistic tricks but instead it was a very practical with immediate application. As I reflect I realise that this is much better as I could have easily drowned in too much theory and it wouldn’t have been useful. I would love to build on these skills with Joe and I look forward to another course.
Thank you Pete and Joe. This is by far the best learning platform for change work that I have come across".
