We are now delighted to announce a half day Masterclass given by Anthony ‘Tas’ Tasgal , award winning author on storytelling and very experienced instructor. The Masterclass will be held between 9.00 and 1.00 pm Friday 13th July .

Collaboration is key to 21st century organisations by adding value and generating transformative insights from the sharing of knowledge. Humans are hard-wired to transmit and respond to others’ knowledge when the knowledge is expressed through storytelling. Story gets through “attention spam” because it deals in memorable meaning, focuses on patterns and connections and delivers universal emotion and empathy.

Date : 
Friday 13th July
Time: From 
9.00 am until 1.00pm
Location: 1
