Storytelling Workshops
Our storytelling workshops change the way creative teams write and sales teams sell.
Steve Ballantyne is recognised as one of New Zealand’s leading authorities on storytelling. He lectures in digital storytelling at the NZ Marketing Association and has run in-house workshops for Canon Australia, Villa Maria, Summerset Retirement Villages, Hirepool, Indicator Sales Training and more. Steve currently runs two specialist workshops. One is ideally suited for internal creative teams while the other is specifically designed for sales teams. Either workshop can be run as half day or full day in-person session at your offices, or online via Zoom over 3-4 weeks (one per week).
The workshops help creative and sales teams move from being intuitive storytellers to intentional storytellers. Learn what makes great stories work – the hidden architecture, the practical techniques and the fundamental principles behind all great stories.
Learn the neuroscience behind why stories engage your brain more deeply than hard facts and data, making them more memorable and making prospects far more likely to take action. Learn how to utilise emotive and sensory language to create vivid and immersive stories to draw your audience in to your story and forge powerful connections with your brand.
Explore the role of villains and conflict in storytelling and understand the vital essence they add to narrative progression, character development, and thematic complexity. Dive into the Hero’s Journey to uncover the universal patterns of character transformation and narrative progression in storytelling.
These are not lectures! They’re interactive workshops in which you’ll participate in various exercises. Steve’s courses are limited to two per month and get rave reviews so don’t delay – book yours now!
“I recently attended Steve’s workshop on digital storytelling and really enjoyed the experience. One of the main takeaways were that according to Ernest Hemingway, a great story doesn’t need many words, it only needs six – so here it goes: Steve Ballantyne. Storyteller extraordinaire. Pay attention.”
