SUMMARY:Learn to tell a Story and create a Vision
DESCRIPTION:Project managers and leaders who can tell a great story\, are not only able to inspire people to follow them\, but they can paint a picture\, provide a mission and impart a vision of the project or the company.   Storytelling that sticks can change hearts and minds.  So how do you make it stick?  And how do you distill it so that ALL audiences understand it – not just the scientific and technical ones? \nAt our Innovation Networking session on Tuesday October 8th\, Master Storytelling Coach\, Bridget K. Brown of StoryMatters\, LLC\, will deliver a mini-workshop that dips into each of these elements with basic storytelling principles\, and some creative improvisational games which will help you when you are stuck for what to say. \nFollow this link to register for the event: https://www.eventbrite.com/o/innovation-networking-group-and-experis-19903755786 \nWe network before (and after)\, beer\, wine\, soft drinks and finger food supplied by Experis IT

SUMMARY:Naval and Maritime Consortium Meeting Featuring StoryMatters
DESCRIPTION:Join the Naval and Maritime Consortium for a Storytelling Basics for Business Workshop\, hosted by StoryMatters\, LLC\, and networking with colleagues. More information and registration here.  \nStorytelling Basics for Business \nIs the story you tell potential new clients about what your company does\, deceptively simple?  Or is it very complex?  \nEither way\, how do you tell a new client what you do in a way that sticks and makes your company stand out from your competitors?  And how do you get across how you are the company to solve their problem because you have done it before in a way that is compelling? \nMaster Storytelling Coach\, Bridget K. Brown of StoryMatters\, LLC\, will take you through a workshop that uses your product\, and the achievements of your company to tell the story of what you do and how what you do solves the problem of new customers.  At the end of the hour you will be able to tell your story in a compelling manner that sticks\, so that when you are face to face within a business development session\, you can apply your storytelling prowess to get the new customer to say “yes”! \nPlease bring 2 examples of successes with past clients\, what you did how that solved a problem for them. (Company names not necessary). \nElectric Boat will be joining us as well to present subcontracting opportunities.
