Meeting and Greeting at ASTD
At the recent ASTD International Conference in Atlanta, Georgia, I had the privilege of presenting two workshops on Story Theater - Using Emotional Triggers to Compel Attention and Enhance Retention. Over 400 people from all over the world attended my sessions.
In my sessions, as in all of my train-the-trainer and leadership development seminars, I had people on their feet doing basic acting exercises to experience the power of acting out actions, reactions and interactions instead of narrating them. You should have seen the room. It was a wonderful explosion of creativity and enthusiasm. People were stepping out of their comfort zones and trying things that they’d never even considered before.
To all of the wonderful people, from Canada, Asia, Europe, South America, South Africa, the UK, Australia, New Zealand and the United States that I met and had conversations with, thank you for being so generous with your praise and enthusiasm for Story Theater.
I look forward to a trip to Asia in 2008, including Hong Kong, the Philippines. Malaysia, India and Dubai. If you are interested in having me speak to your organization during my trip, please give us a call. 1-800-573-6196.
