About this course
We all have had experiences in our lives that are worth talking about. Have you ever wondered how you can use your own stories to influence and persuade people? Whether you're a founder pitching a potential investor or someone who's interviewing for a job, you probably have had situations in your life where you wish you could put your ideas out there more effectively.
In Storytelling for Business, you'll join master storyteller Kevin Allison in an intensive 30-day workshop where he'll break down every aspect of storytelling. By the end of this course, you'll be able to effectively tell stories that relate to your Purpose (explaining why you are doing what you're doing), your Relationships (explaining why someone should trust you), and your Possibility (explaining something that you think is possible).

Frequently Asked Questions:
What Makes A Live Course Different Than A Typical One Month Course?
Live courses are designed to be more advanced and intensive than our other library courses. There's a lot more interaction on a day-to-day basis with other students, which is great for solving problems you've encountered, and generating new ideas by bouncing them off one another. This course is a month long, and while you'll still have access to it afterward, we expect you to make time to get through this course at this fast pace. If this material isn't a priority for you, or you don't have the time for it, then we recommend not taking this live course right now.
Who Is This Course For?
This course is for complete beginners in storytelling, people curious about storytelling, people who wish they could persuade and influence others more effectively, people who want to get better at public speaking, and people who want to convey their ideas in a more convincing manner.
Who Is This Course NOT For?
Unless you're a professional storyteller that successfully tells stories for a living (and we imagine there's not that many of you out there), you'll definitely benefit from this course.
Do I Get Access To All Future Premium Courses?
No. But you will get access to all of our self-guided library courses. If you want to take another premium course, you'll need to register for that independently when it's offered in the future..
What If I Need To Cancel?
This course and deal is available for only a limited time, and only for 100 students. You can cancel and get a refund within the time period sales are open, but once enrollment has closed, there will be no refunds. This purchase also includes complimentary access to one FULL year of to ALL of our courses, at a serious discount. The limited time of availability, limited number of seats, and steep discount make it impossible for us as a business to refund you after enrollment has closed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is a One Month Coding Bootcamp?
A. Our bootcamps are 100% online, so you can participate from anywhere in the world. You will be given access to course video lessons throughout the month, which is where you'll first learn the material. You'll also be interacting with your instructor and the other students in a Slack channel where you'll receive assignments, feedback, and have opportunities for collaboration.
Q. How much time will I need to commit?
A. Our bootcamps require around 2-3 hours per week. That time will be spent watching video lessons and completing homework that is given to you throughout the course.
Q. How is One Month different from other learning platforms?
We've learned from our past students that you're 78% more likely to complete a bootcamp successfully if you're working with other people. Our online bootcamps offer a premium level of interactivity with your instructor as well as other students so you'll never feel alone on your learning journey.
Q. Are One Month bootcamps worth my time and money?
A. If you want to take an intensive 8-10 week in-person course that costs thousands of dollars, then One Month isn't for you. But, if you're looking for a fast-paced intro to a computer programming language that is taught in a fun, fast and effective way at a fraction of the price and on your own schedule, you're in the right place.
