Storytelling for Business Presentations

Storytelling for Business Presentations™ is a live communication skills workshop from Duarte, the presentation and storytelling firm behind Nancy Duarte's award-winning book Resonate®. The workshop teaches business storytelling as a repeatable discipline, not only a creative talent. Professionals learn to structure persuasive presentations using the same narrative frameworks trusted by Fortune 50 companies and global brands.

What you'll learn: How the world's best speakers use story to persuade, how to build a presentation around a clear story structure, and how to apply the principles of empathy, contrast, and variety to connect with your audience and move them to act.

What you'll walk away with: You work on a real presentation throughout the workshop and leave with a finished outline you can use right away.

Format: Live online or in person. Both include facilitated discussion, small-group collaboration, hands-on practice, and a certificate of completion.

• Live online: Four 90-minute sessions over two days, with a physical or digital kit.
• In person: One full day with four 90-minute sessions and a physical kit.

How much does it cost? $990 per person for either format.

When is it offered? The next live online session is October 14–15, 2026. In-person dates are coming soon.

Is there a self-paced option? Yes. Duarte's on-demand Resonate® course covers related storytelling content in about four hours for $395.

Who is it for? Business professionals, leaders, sales teams, and anyone who needs to persuade an audience through presentations.
