The messages your organisation gives out have never been more important. But you need to be clever about getting your message across when there are so many other organisations trying to grab the attention of customers. Businesses that spend more on strong messaging usually come out ahead against the quieter voices, but is getting noticed merely a matter of how much you spend on advertising ? Not necessarily.

Skill in storytelling – creating a compelling narrative around your actions or your purpose – gives you the power to be heard above louder voices. It inspires people to think along with you. And that’s where this RSM Executive Education programme on storytelling comes in.
In RSM’s two-day course Storytelling for Business Success, Terence Barry, an experienced corporate storyteller, shows how you can harness the power of narrative to succeed in business by inspiring your employees and colleagues, winning more customers and growing your operation.
Attending the Storytelling for Business Success programme was a thought-provoking delight! As an RSM alumna, I knew I could expect superb quality, and this programme exceeded my expectations. Over two captivating days, I was not only entertained but also equipped with invaluable insights into crafting impactful narratives. In today's world, where effective communication is key, this training provided me with the tools and resources to excel. It’s a skill that's more crucial than ever amidst the sea of poor narrative overload. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to make a positive impact through the power of storytelling.
During Storytelling for Business Success you will learn from Terence Barry. Occasionally we may substitute other faculty members according to the content of the programme and their availability.
