Speaker: Peter W. Carbone, MBA, Founder of Mindset Effect Consulting
Storytelling That Rocks is a high‑energy, science‑driven workshop that gives presenters practical, repeatable storytelling frameworks to ignite narrative cognition, lower cognitive load, and create the emotional engagement audiences need to learn and remember.
Participants experience how story transforms complex information into clarity, boosts germane load for deeper understanding, and bends the Forgetting Curve through meaning, imagery, and resonance. By the end, they know how to turn any message into a narrative that connects, sticks, and drives real influence.
