Make Your Business Communications More Powerful With Online Business Storytelling Courses
Sell More by Saying Less!
You and your team want to thrive as effective communicators. You know if you strengthen your storytelling, then you can 10x your achievements no matter what your goal.
But telling stories in business is hard. Especially if you’re relying on multi-step processes like The Hero’s Journey or the Pixar way.
You’re a business leader, not a Hollywood screenwriter.
Now you can hook into the primal hearts of your prospects, customers, colleagues and investors in under 15 seconds with the simple and proven ABT (And, But Therefore) narrative framework… the three-word foundation to ALL persuasive business communications.
Do you have an amazing product or service to sell, or brand story to tell, but your message is falling flat because it’s too complex and confusing?
Have you lost confidence pitching it?
I know the feeling. I’ve been in the sales and marketing industry for 35+ years having run my own ad agency, Park&Co, for 20 years.
What bothered me most was NOT having a go-to narrative template that guaranteed I captivated my audiences.
Believe me, in the past 20 years, I’ve tried every storytelling method – starting with the 17-steps of the Hero’s Journey – but got lost.
I clawed through Blake Snyders 15-beats to story as outlined in his famous book Save the Cat.
I even figured the seven or eight steps of the Pixar way would take me to infinity and beyond, but learned it’s a lot harder to fly with it than it looks.
Three words that will transform your communications.
Then, in 2013, I discovered the ABT framework. Dr. Randy Olson, a Harvard Ph.D. evolutionary biologist who became a USC grad and Hollywood filmmaker introduced me to this messaging marvel. We’re now great friends as he teaches it to big-thinking scientists and academics while I translate the ABT into the business world.
The ABT framework helps you make your complex message simple and mesmerizing. How? By leveraging the three forces of story: Agreement, Contradiction and Consequence.
Translation:
You want this AND it’s important to you because of this…
BUT you don’t have it because of this…
THEREFORE, here is how I am uniquely equipped to help you get it.
