Compelling Storytelling
A Fresh Approach to Marketing

"Your first job is to get your own story straight."
                                                          Natalie Goldberg   

Who is this workshop designed for?  

Been wondering if Compelling Storytelling would be an asset to your entrepreneurial journey? Here are a dozen signs that it would be a good fit for you:

• You get a knot in your stomach when asked, “So what do you do?”

• You were warned as a child that it’s not nice to blow your own horn

• You feel like a broken record (remember records?) when talking about your business

•  You’d start a business if you could avoid marketing

• You have a business, but marketing is mostly seen as a crisis activity

• You want people to know that you’re trustworthy—or whimsical

• Your marketing needs a little tune-up

• You love spending time with creative, inspired entrepreneurs who are on your side

• You wonder if you’re too old for MySpace, YouTube or the Blogosphere

• You want to expand your story repertoire

• You love the idea of attending a Cirque du Soleil show and having it be a legitimate business expense

• You ramble and don’t know how to stop yourself

Where should I stay?

The event is being held at the Tuscany Suites and Casino and I highly recommend that you stay there. You can make reservations by calling 1-877-887-2261 and telling them you’re with Barbara Winter’s Storytelling seminar. You may also find a lower rate online at your favorite travel website. 

Do I need to rent a car?

Probably not. The hotel is about 3 blocks off the Strip and we will be making a couple of field trips there, but sharing a cab with other seminar participants is the easiest way to get around.

==========================================================

I have felt fully alive and creative as well as alone with feelings of being in a different place from friends and acquaintances. After your seminar it feels like there is no turning back and that a light has gone on somewhere deep within. I don’t think I am the only one. I think your work is vital in the 21st Century. ~ Mary, UK

When I went to your seminar, I was really beginning to wonder why I took the plunge to self employment. I don't wonder anymore. It feels good to be in control of your own destiny and to live with purpose. I appreciate your help on this journey of discovery.~ Paul, CA

This is the event that helped me move from living as a tortured entrepreneurial soul, to becoming an enlightened, confident and purposeful business creator. ~ Alice, MN

 What’s included in the enrollment fee?

The fee includes the 3-day seminar, seminar handbook, ticket to Cirque du Soleil’s Mystere and dinner the final evening at Marrakech. Other meals are on your own.

Will there be time to explore Las Vegas?

Our seminar days run close to twelve hours. The first night, you’ll be working on a project with a small group. The second night is theater night. The dinner on the final night will be early (6-8 PM) so there will be time that evening to be a tourist

Is there any follow-up after the workshop?

If the group wishes, we’ll do a teleconference several weeks afterwards to hear how you’re using the new ideas from the workshop and answer any new questions you may have.

It’s not unusual for people to find new entrepreneurial friends that they stay in touch with long after the event has ended.

I've learned that following what you love magnifies your talent. You just have to have faith to invest in it.
