The ability to “tell a story” in a compelling manner is a vital component of effective communication. When people are bombarded with information, from an increasing number of sources, making complex ideas accessible and engaging is ever more essential.
As a programme maker and a facilitator, in both my 13 years at The BBC World Service and 10 years as a successful freelancer, I have developed an ability to help others tell their stories in a way that encourages maximum participation, cooperative listening and increased understanding.
I have also been responsible for designing and presenting large, innovative, learning events for a range of “blue chip” clients that have successfully supported their organistations through periods of significant change.
