In this workshop you will learn how to describe your experience, skills, and qualities in a more compelling way — through storytelling. Storytelling is one of the most powerful methods for conveying your brand and expertise in hard and soft skills and the impact you have.
Using the Circumstances — Actions- Results (CARs) method, you will craft a draft of your first story which will be useful in networking, preparing for interviews and as a way to describe outcome-oriented work experiences. This workshop will help you clearly and concisely develop CARs (Challenge, Action, Result) that describe your success stories.
In this workshop you will learn to:
- Create CARs that clearly demonstrate your value and that directly connect you with positive experiences that in turn boost your confidence.
- Create concise, digestible, memorable stories.
- Use the CARs stories as bullets on your resume and LinkedIn profiles.
