Project Description
TRAINING (WORKSHOPS)
Andrew delivers workshops on a variety of skill topics including presentation & public speaking, networking, customer service and blogging. But his most requested programme is the use of storytelling as an influencing skill.
CASE STUDY
SWISS RE
Andrew has delivered several workshops for this global reinsurer in Europe and the USA. Storytelling has proved a powerful tool for differentiating their brand and helping employees build stronger relationships with clients. Stories help to capture the added value provided by experts who solve complex problems. The Learning & Development lead has reported a “vibe within the organisation” as a result of Andrew’s sessions.
CASE STUDY
BIG 4 FIRM
Andrew coaches experienced executives within the European Academy of this Big 4 consulting firm. Although storytelling has formed part of previous courses on Presenting & Public Speaking, the client wanted more specialist guidance on the use of storytelling as an influencing skill. This approach allows technically trained experts to persuade and educate in a ‘non-salesy’ way, something appreciated by all sides! Using an interactive workshop format, Andrew also emphasis the importance of story-listening – encouraging the other party to share their side of the story and create more connection.
“Andrew is an excellent trainer whose key differentiators are how much time and thought he invests outside of the workshops to understand your objectives and goals and then evolving the material and the workshop delivery based on feedback and experience. His skills and connection seem to work across cultures and regions.”
