Keynote Description

Stories that Win

The biggest challenge in business isn’t coming up with great ideas. It’s getting people to listen, care, and act on them. Even the best idea will get ignored or rejected if it’s not delivered in a memorable, compelling way.

So how can we inspire people to listen and take action?

In this dynamic, practical keynote, Richard Newman reveals how anyone can use the science of storytelling to maximize their impact every day with the PRO Story System™. Sharing proven strategies and simple tools, he empowers attendees to not just captivate others, but compel them to action, whether they’re in a meeting, presentation, or conversation.

Audiences will leave able to transform their business communication, ideas, and complex topics into clear, concise messages that increase their influence and engagement through the power of story.

This keynote is perfect for leaders and teams who:

  • Have important ideas to share, but can’t seem to make people listen or act on those ideas
  • Those ideas are losing sales because their competitors do a better job of connecting with the customer
  • Want to cascade key messages throughout the company, but are struggling to convince people to take action
  • Need to share critical insights and data, but make the message so complex that people don’t understand them

The audience will leave able to:

  • Make their ideas compelling, concise, and memorable with the PRO Storytelling Method™ used by successful business people around the world
  • Drive forward their vision, goal, or project by cascading messages effectively
  • Ensure others remember all of their key points after meetings, presentations, or conversations
  • Reduce the time it takes them to prepare for a meeting with an intuitive framework they can use every day
  • Speak with fluency, without needing to memorize a script
  • Inspire their audience to take action, winning buy-in, and creating momentum
