"Mentors aren't teachers, they are awakeners." -Robert Frost In your relationship with your mentor you can look forward to genuine respect and empathy because, as you will discover, it’s quite a personal relationship which thrives on honest and open communication. While mentors can teach to pass on skills and knowledge; a mentor's real value lies in the awakening of their protege's awareness of their own abilities and potential. Most of us find our own potential obscured from ourselves until someone with awareness and understanding points it out and shows us how to leverage it.
The greatest stories are told by speakers who have internalized their presentations. They don't memorize them. The only route to this level of delivery is practice and lots of it!
Explore powerful ways to communicate and discover why leadership is much more than a position or job title—it’s about creating positive transformations through storytelling. What differentiates Message Crafters from other professional agencies and groups is that through Toastmasters' Pathways educational program you will develop your storytelling through the lens of your changemaker focus. It is not a one-size fits all approach. Great stories are at the core of any memorable speech or presentation. They bring important lessons to life making them feel relatable and authentic. However, there are key principles and subtle nuances that go into creating a powerful presentation. Yes, there is the story itself and then there is the art of delivery. In accord, our training addresses both issues. The Toastmasters' Pathways educational program gives you the "science" and emotional intelligence behind powerful presentations which you use in practice projects. Our storytelling experts, your mentors, have years of personal and professional experience to augment your training and give you insight into their process. The impact of your message lies in how you present your story. How you set up each moment to build tension and take your audience on a memorable journey that ends with a powerful message. Our training will teach you how to become a great storyteller who captures attention, sparks curiosity, and engages your audience.
