STORYTELLING TRAINING

As part of our continuing professional development program, Schinder Law Firm invited Bjorn Turmann of Speaking Energy Co Ltd (Hong Kong) to deliver a workshop on public speaking for our lawyers and staff.

However, we got more than we bargained for. Bjorn thinks ‘public speaking’ is so 20th century, he prefers ‘storytelling’. Bjorn showed us the power of silence as communication tool, mastering the first 3 minutes, and how to use ‘Scene Thinking’ and the ARC methods—employed by Hollywood— in building our ‘stories’, i.e. the substance in any presentation.

Bjorn developed his workshop methods based on his decades of experience as professional communicator. He was the Product Marketing Manager of Microsoft. He has a degree on film studies from UCLA and has authored 5 books. He has lived in Asia for more than 13 years, thus understand the cultural contexts of the region.

Schinder Law Firm always invests in the development of our people. We empower our lawyers and staff to deliver world class professional services.
