Keynote Speaker Storytelling
The magic of storytelling
Why are we so moved by a beautiful book or a gripping series? What happens in the brain? How do you build a story that moves people to act? In this keynote, we dive into the world of stories. We experience how storytelling can be used in communication, leadership and change, with inspiring real-life examples from the Netherlands and around the world.
Everyone has a story
In an accessible exercise, we get to work with the Storytelling Canvas developed by StoryDiggers. Everyone goes home with the building blocks for a story of their own. This keynote is full of heroes and heroines, monsters, special powers and magic potions. Come and claim your story!
Oh, and you'll never watch your favourite film the same way again... :-)
