Immersive Storytelling Program: A One-Day Communications Retreat

Find Your Voice. Own the Room. Tell Stories That Stick.

You Know Your Stuff. Now Learn to Make People Listen.

Your career is moving to the next level and how you communicate is more important than ever. Emails to clients, internal meetings, video presentations, conflict resolution, client deliverables, and, of course, standing on a stage or at the end of a conference-room table and delivering a message to a group of people. You have stories to tell and deserve to be listened to, so it's imperative you have all the tools necessary to command attention, whether it's in a one-on-one meeting or addressing a ballroom of five-hundred people.

Larkspur's one-day Immersive Storytelling Program will teach you how to find the confidence to be a persuasive, compelling, and memorable communicator. You'll leave with an ability to better communicate not only within your business world, but throughout all aspects of your life.

What You Will Learn

Instruction is broken into 3 interactive segments:

SEGMENT I

Effective Public Speaking (4 hours)

The largest block of the program, Effective Public Speaking, will give you the tools you need to command attention every time you present. After discussing the psychology of putting yourself out there, Carter and Ali will lead you through a series of exercises and scenarios designed to build confidence, maximize your strengths, and showcase your individual personality and style.

  • Get practical tips on things such as tone, breathing, posture, pace, body language, and messaging, plus the opportunity to experiment the group.

  • Planning to take the stage? Great! Learn best practices for before, during, and after your presentation.

  • Gain insights on other presentation types, including small group meetings, online presentations, phone calls and everyday casual conversations.

Imagine: you’re not only no longer afraid of public speaking, but craving it. It's possible. We’ve been there and can help you get there, too.

SEGMENT II

Business Writing and Presentation Prep (1 hour)

Too many people think business writing needs to be stiff, formal, and obtuse. They couldn’t be more wrong.

Business Writing With Carter

  • Learn all things storytelling by taping into Carter’s decades as both a business executive and bestselling novelist — whether it’s an email, proposal, article, or extensive study.

  • Discover how to connect with the reader, get to the point, and make a lasting impression.

Presentation Prep With Ali

  • Finally ditch the mindset that PowerPoints need to be dull, dry, and full of data.

  • Explore how to streamline presentations and quickly connect with your audience

  • Embrace persuasive design techniques that make data compelling and impactful

SEGMENT III

Leading Meetings and Listening (1 hour)

A big part of communicating is simply listening, but how many of us do that effectively? When you’re leading a meeting, are you considering what your audience is telling you and incorporating it into your messaging?

Experience a series of exercises aimed to enhance your interpersonal communication dynamics within small groups, whether it’s leading a daily staff meeting or having a difficult, one-on-one conversation with an employee or co-worker.
