Storytelling Foundations
- What is storytelling?
- Why do we like stories so much?
- How do the world’s top speakers use stories to deliver their message?
We've been misled. We were taught that the key to great presentations is to speak up, move around the stage and look everyone in the eye. But that's just not true. The most important skill for giving a good presentation is the ability to tell a story. It's the ability to take massive amounts of data, numbers, and messages and package them into a sharp, concise, and compelling story. In an age where good ideas can change the world in a heartbeat, the ability to communicate your ideas to your superiors, investors, customers or to a board of directors is an invaluable business skill.

In short, the workshop is intended for anyone who believes that today, the ability to tell a story and deliver a presentation is a crucial tool for success.
Our name is Leave a Mark, and we create powerful presentations through storytelling. We chose our name because we believe that’s the main function of a great presentation – to leave a mark. We work with politicians, CEOs, senior managers, start-up entrepreneurs and with anyone who wants to become a better leader by delivering stronger messages. We’ve been running our workshops for many years now and we’ve had the honor to host international leaders such as HP, Google Partners, Dell EMC, Bank Hapoalim, as well as renowned academic institutions, such as the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, The Ono Academic College, Habetzefer – Israel’s Advertising Agencies Academy, and more.

If you train, it becomes stronger. Otherwise, it wastes away. Our workshops will make sure you get plenty of exercise and acquire the tools to become excellent presenters.
Unfortunately, we came out of them even more stressed and confused than we were to begin with. We believe that the ability to tell a clear and cohesive story is the number one contributor to the quality of your presentation. It's true that pacing around the stage and making eye contact is important, but all those techniques pale in comparison with strong storytelling skills. Take Moses, for example – you know, the one who led his people through the desert for forty years. He didn't have good speaking skills. In fact, he even stuttered. But none of that matters when your story involves the promise of a land of milk and honey.
We want to hear, see, and talk to each and every one of you. With just 15 participants per workshop, we can give you the kind of close mentoring and guidance you deserve.
