“We wanted a toolkit to make more powerful stories in wildlife documentary. Dean gave us a set of skills to find the heart of each story. The lessons were bespoke, focused, and fun. The whole production team learned and gained from the experience.”
— Peter Fison (Series Producer, BBC Natural History Unit (UK))
No matter what field you are in, storytelling plays into it. Whenever we introduce ourselves, our brand, our company, we’re telling a story. Whenever we want to reach someone, and have them root for us, a story is the best way to do it.
That’s why I have adapted the many storytelling lessons I’ve learned writing PIXAR STORYTELLING, and many more I gathered in writing, coaching and speaking since, into a live presentation: How Pixar Makes You Cry? In this presentation I go through all the storytelling techniques you will need to craft a great, compelling, emotional story. My audiences always leave inspired, with tools they can immediately put to use.
Apart from my How Pixar Makes You Cry? keynote, my other preferred format is a live workshop. In these I’ll meet with a small group of professionals—whether they are writers, executives, managers, or performers—and together we will explore and hone the stories they are eager to tell. That being said, I’ve done everything from one hour talks to multi-day workshops, and am happy to find the format that best suits your and your company’s needs.
