A winner of international awards for storytelling in television, Jason Reid shows organizations and communicators how to sell their ideas, and build human connection through magnetic presentations, and strategic storytelling that inspires action.
Strategic Storytelling and Engaging Presentations
Whether it’s a marketing or P.R. campaign, a high-stakes presentation, or even a visionary speech, you already know that effective communication requires you to tell a story.
But that’s just the beginning. For a story to be a powerful tool of influence it needs to send a clear and repeatable message to a specific audience. In short – it needs to be strategic and purposeful.
Only by understanding your message and your audience can you begin to craft a story that makes a difference. Then, by creating your narrative in a way that connects with people both logically and emotionally, you can truly inspire your audience to action.
Jason can show you how to craft a story to send the right message – a message that engages people and inspires them to action. But it doesn’t stop there. Jason also teaches powerful techniques that can give any story a touch of Hollywood magic – making them memorable, funny, and immersive as well as authentic and natural.
Why settle for just a speaker or trainer when you can have a great storyteller who excels at both in-person and virtual environments?
Conference attendees have to take in a lot of information, and they learn best when they’re being entertained. They also need insight that’s useful, actionable, and memorable. Jason has it all covered.
Imagine a presentation or training workshop that provides the right mix of energy, fun, and big ideas. A presentation that helps make your conference or meeting something attendees will recommend to others.
“Thank you Jason for being responsive, amenable and a general joy to work with!“
