Storytelling (in English)

Patrick Liebl
Facilitator for Storytelling & Public Speaking    

What motivates me: In a world where we are surrounded by carefully curated “fake“ stories in (social)media, I am intrigued by authentic personal stories. Stories that are not shared with the goal to impress but that are an invitation to understand, learn and grow.  

What I’d like to move and shake with this course: I want to make people aware of the power that lies within storytelling - that it cannot only help you to motivate and communicate more effectively but that it can also help you to foster empathy, understanding and even shift perspectives and break free from limiting narratives.  

Experience I bring to the table: As an expert in public speaking & storytelling I empower people, organizations and companies to spread their ideas and stories. In the past 6 years I have worked with people and teams from all over the world and from all kind of backgrounds.
With a strong background in communications I have a strong focus on how to use storytelling in presentations and speeches. In the past two years, however, I discovered storytelling through another perspective: (self-)empowerment. Inspired by Michael White and his work on Narrative Therapy I am now especially interested in storytelling as a tool for empowerment and leadership.
