Your Brain on Storytelling

Workshops

Over the years, we have studied, dissected and figured out the difference between the good presenters and those who are truly awesome. What we learned made us realize why it’s so hard to find any one speaker coach or training program that really accelerates your effectiveness and success... because it isn’t just one key skill or competency that makes the difference -- it's a lot of things that only work when they work together.

There are a number of workshops and training sessions we can customize for your team. If you have questions about any of these programs, please contact us so we can discuss the suitability for your needs and situation.

Inside-Out Storytelling is an approach that feels natural because it is natural. And with Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), advertising copywriting, acting, stand-up comedy, songwriting, improv, and more... no other approach blends so many diverse disciplines to bear on your message and performance to help you be as impactful as you can be.

These workshops cover the range of skills you need to develop to increase sales, gain greater audience engagement, enhance training effectiveness, and become more influential in everything you do:

  • Messaging for Meaning, Differentiation, & Lasting Impact
  • Hooks & Headlines
  • Story Structure & Audience Journey
  • Writing & Development
  • Blurbs & Bios sales copy
  • Craft of Comedy for Speakers
  • Performance, Stage Presence, Improvisation

As a professional speaker and singer-songwriter already successful at making a living through storytelling, I was hoping to deepen my knowledge of the craft. I was, however, a bit skeptical that I’d learn anything new. That skepticism quickly evaporated… I loved all the different methodologies and approaches to distilling the essence of your story. And the whole design of the workshop was aligned with the creative process, in that it was designed to turn off your brain, get yourself out of your own way and put you into flow through the great prompts and the pace of it all. The time absolutely flew by and I felt like I had learned so much when I emerged on the other side. I will be back for more!

PETER KATZ - Juno Award and Canadian Screen Award nominated Singer-Songwriter and Speaker

You did an excellent job of demonstrating the value of storytelling to enhance leadership and improve outcomes. The session also gave us new insights and appreciation for our colleagues. And while I was initially concerned about how people would take to a session on storytelling, it was gratifying to see how participants left the workshop with specific tools to help them be more structured and deliberate in their communications.

ROXANN LINTON - Chief Executive Officer, First Heritage Co-operative Credit Union (FHC)

The 'Storytelling for Business' series has taught me how to develop and present impactful stories that can be used both in conversation or on stage. I have learned more in this 6 week workshop than I have in the past year.

TIM MCDONALD - Speaker, Life & Business Coach

I learned a lot about how to increase audience connection, and had the opportunity to practice it in the actual workshop.

RICHARD HUDSON - Keynote Speaker & Adventurer

Michel's speaking classes and pointers go straight to the heart of transformation… and they’re informative and fun. They've been a key factor in helping me effectively build my coaching practice and my community.

LINDA BABULIC - Personal Business Strategist at ZEST Your Life

Michel Neray's training has not only helped internal staff be more effective in their respective roles, but it also helped us access new sources of revenue. In addition, our front-line staff reported they were more effective in the field. We would definitely hire Michel again, and in fact, we did!

NANCY HEINRICHS - Executive Director Winnipeg Regional Health Authority

That was the perfect session for me. It helped me develop the story as the foundation of my branding.

ELVINA KAMALOVA

The story structure workshop was a big help in terms of finding the meat and potatoes in my story. The comedy workshop enabled me to find the humour. Having the feedback from you and the other participants each workshop was very helpful too!

NADER EID - Personal Trainer

I participated in Michel's virtual storytelling workshop last week and it was super informative and fun AND I got to practice! Was just like being in person but even quieter and easier to focus! These classes are always full of valuable, take home material!

JEFF ALDRIDGE - Workshop Participant

Michel Neray was pivotal in impacting my speaking career and workshop facilitation. His workshop taught me to craft my humorous talks with a core message that changed my speaking business profoundly. His easy style and compassionate manner allowed me to open up and take my business to a new level.
