The Power of Story in the Virtual Classroom

Brain research confirms what storytellers know from experience: we learn through stories. We're wired for it - the pattern, rhythm and structure.

As a professional trainer, you use the most up-to-date facts and processes to impart knowledge and skills, but without a good old-fashioned story to put it all together, you make your learner's job harder.

Join this TrainingIndustry.com webinar, sponsored by GoToTraining, to hear Roger Courville, author of The Virtual Presenter's Handbook, as he discusses practical tips for how to weave a story that will draw your learners fully into your virtual classroom.

Attend this one- hour interactive webinar to discover:

1- What stories to tell (hint: no "once upon a time")
2- How to choose the story elements that are right
for you
 3- steps to telling a story fit for virtual classrooms
 4- tips for combining voice and visuals for
improved impact
