Creating Compelling Narratives

Overview

🕮 Cross Civil Service

Ever since we first started drawing on cave walls, narratives have been a crucial part of human behaviour, helping us to engage, inform and motivate others. We continue to respond to them because they engage the emotive part of our brain. The message at the heart of a narrative becomes more memorable as a result. Therefore, being able to create engaging narratives which can prompt people into action remains a valuable skill in any environment.

This course covers all the fundamental elements of a compelling narrative. It does this alongside other workplace considerations such as why you would want to tell stories at work, when, where and to whom. As well as the delivery mechanism, you’ll be encouraged to think about the message(s) you’re trying to convey, how you want to make people feel and the actions you’d like them to take as a result.
