Storytelling That ROCKS! (Igniting Narrative Cognition)

This virtual workshop equips participants with practical storytelling frameworks and techniques that ignite narrative cognition, elevate emotional engagement, and strengthen retention presentation execution.

Date: Tuesday, August 11, 2026

Time: 12:00 - 1:30PM ET

Location: Virtual. The Zoom link will be provided after you register.

Speaker: Peter W. Carbone, MBA, Founder of Mindset Effect Consulting

Storytelling That Rocks is a high‑energy, science‑driven workshop that gives presenters practical, repeatable storytelling frameworks to ignite narrative cognition, lower cognitive load, and create the emotional engagement audiences need to learn and remember.

Participants experience how story transforms complex information into clarity, boosts germane load for deeper understanding, and bends the Forgetting Curve through meaning, imagery, and resonance. By the end, they know how to turn any message into a narrative that connects, sticks, and drives real influence.

Learning Objectives - Participants will be able to:

Understand the relevance of Storytelling in a complex presentation.
Apply storytelling frameworks that activate narrative cognition and reduce cognitive load to create clearer, more engaging presentations.
Use emotional resonance, imagery, and structure to increase cognitive ease and strengthen audience attention, retention, and recall.
Transform complex information into meaningful narratives that boost germane load and drive lasting learning, influence, and action.
