The best way for any organization to improve its performance and increase its retention is by offering professional development opportunities to its employees. The more the employees are motivated, the more it adds to the company’s productivity.

‘You don’t build a Business. You build People, and then People build the Business.’

Or it may be just a short course or session arranged by the HR or an organisation to take the employees away from the day to day routine rut for doing something more creative or recreational.

What is Crash Course or short course knowledge provided by Keynote Speaker?

Crash Course is usually very fast-paced and tightly knit to facilitate imparting maximum knowledge in minimum time-frame. Because of the pace in today’s technology there has been a surge in number of crash course.

Importance of Having a Good Friend at Work

I personally feel one of the overlooked factors by few leaders and HRs - Does this employee have a really GOOD FRIEND in office? Would love to hear your thoughts We all spend more time of day in the office than at home.  Human beings are social creatures, and our mental well-being is deeply influenced by the quality of our office relationships. SHARING your office worries, DISCUSSING that toxic manager problems, or simply VENTING to that good friend who understands your work-related struggles can help alleviate stress, provide much-needed emotional relief and make the day-to-day grind more bearable. When we feel connected and valued, we are more likely to be motivated, productive and committed to our organization. Not all are fortunate to have a best friend in the office. Hence if you have a best friend/s in office, then please thank the Holy God for it BTW in my Business Storytelling workshop for HR, I deeply discuss on this topic.

Okay this is an absurdly specific ask for Storyteller Saturday....what is one wip outside of your posted/main one you'd like to talk about? Or alternatively, what is something within your main wip you want somebody to give you an excuse to talk about?

Feel free to answer either or both!

Oooooo, I’ve been looking for an excuse to rave about my vampire WIP!!!

So this is my longest story. The Price of Blood currently sits at over 120k words in draft 1. Almost 30 chapters. I took a break from working on draft 2 to work on The Lies They Tell during a fiction writing workshop I took in the spring semester at school.

It’s my other queer fantasy novel, featuring one very tall princess (Her name is incredibly long, but she goes by her first middle name, Victoria) that’s abducted by a vampire cult to harbor the soul of the God of Shadows and Subterfuge, AKA the vampire anti-christ. Her entire homeland Halaafin, ruled by the Halaa—sort of half elves basically? They’re one of the only people in this world that have magic. Pure humans can’t use magic—is overrun by this cult and basically destroyed. She makes a bargain with a spider witch that's also been betrayed by the cult to save her life and that of her unborn child. The ritual to summon the vampire anti-christ is sabotaged, but the vampires don’t know it. She manages to escape not long after.

Queue 15 years of living alone with her son in the middle of the woods of the neighboring empire until he’s old enough to help her fight the vampires and retake their kingdom. But things don’t go according to plan. The spider witch tells her she has to get a jump on their plans to destroy the cult early, before her son is ready by Victoria's standards. Queue her teaching her son a lot about his history and also her running into her childhood best friend/almost lover, a duchess in the empire that serves the empress as a professional monster hunter. The two reconnect to fight the cult, fall back in love with one another, and also work on healing from the trauma of losing their families to the cult. It's a very gay story full of angst, dry humor, and lots of dead vampires. Also stresses the importance of family and loved ones in the healing process, and how grieving is inherently ugly. (I wrote a lot of this WIP while my own grandmother was dying, so loss is a big theme in it, as well as love continuing after death)

Also guns. Victoria has been removed from modern society for almost twenty years, so when she comes back to civilization, she's introduced to more modern monster hunting equipment used by non-magic people. And let me tell you: nothing makes this giant bisexual disaster happier than getting to shoot vampires and monsters in the head point blank with a revolver.

[crimeronan]

you guys i've been nauseously anxious about sending my original fiction to the irl writing group bc i've been like "i know this is technically good but i also know that it's an unpleasant horror story about women who are just The Worst (TM), and it'll break my heart if they tear it to shreds. even though it's likely to get torn to shreds"

i just got an email from one of the group members (a very insightful woman in her 50s or so) that was like "i'll have more substantial feedback next week, but i've DNFed ten professionally published books this month and this is one thing i want to keep reading. it's the best story i've read in a while and i hope we get to read more"

i'm gonna. cry.

When your simple fic breaches parameters and grows out of control and you start to wonder if you have a Real Story developing…

[blackgumball]

white they in my class yesterday was critiques on there being little to no dramatic conflict in their story, and they justified that by saying "well, I believe conflict is a western way of writing stories. eastern stories like some ghibli films dont have any conflict. if i dont want to add conflict to a story, i dont." which annoyed me but i want to ask. am i crazy for thinking thats a super reductive way to look at eastern storytelling?

Corporate Storytelling Workshop

Corporate communication workshop: important but neglected business aspects

The world of Corporate is based on strategies and output. They have different resources working at various levels and skillsets, with a common goal revolving around client satisfaction and growth of the organization. Trainings and workshops are required at intervals to update them with the latest technologies, advanced skills and performance expectations.

The best way to induce knowledge and accomplish the goal is through sessions and trainings of narrative storytelling. Effective communication provides additional value to those sessions. To make the corporate communication workshop more effective, the higher authority must also master the fundamentals of storytelling.

How and why is Storytelling workshop beneficial to business and corporates?

The contents of Corporate Stories are designed in a way that which are beneficial for everyone; whether it’s the head of a company addressing his/her global team or a blue-collar worker narrating his/her shop floor experience. Stories have the power to transfer knowledge through illustration which has a positive impact, immerse knowledge and inspiration targeted with delivery of facts, figures and complex data in a simplified way.

The following table lists the various organization position holders along with their corresponding responsibilities.

A typical story consists of a character, location, incident, conflict, and conclusion. An experienced storyteller connects his/her ideas with these aspects and adds the right emotions to attain a desired reaction. However, inspiring corporate communication workshops do not contain complex ideas and jargon. They consist of simple concepts, human emotions, their conflict, and a powerful message to accomplish the required goal.

The corporate communication workshop is packed with stories and morals related to the field and the organization itself. The workshop, which consists of effective communication stories, creates an environment that stimulates the participants’ brains and allows them to improve their skill sets and capacities. We can conclude that Storytelling creates an interaction that develops into reaction of the participant with the end result as objective achieved by the workshop.

Now, let us understand how business storytelling workshop activities and exercises can be result oriented.

Business storytelling workshop provide training-led exercises, in which resources with expertise or professions in particular field are actively involved and indulged in interactive discussion on specific topics, on the basis of examples. It is an interesting and interactive method with a system of activities which are designed taking into consideration the requirements of organization. Storytelling workshop exercises and activities can be fun-filled and knowledgeable with clarity in the concept.

(Examples for Storytelling workshop activities and exercises)

Storytelling workshop with pop-ups

Storytelling with pop-ups illustrated on the white board helps the participants to actually grasp the clarity on the concept of objective-oriented stories. It enables them with the power to listen, understand and implement the objective in their day to day tasks.

Benefit: Clarity on vision and mission of organization

Team building exercises through storytelling

bruh idk what's the damage on all those spiteful writers who have to have a twist ending and change shit at the last minute when people guess what's going on. when someone speculates about an upcoming twist or catches on to what I've been doing I light up like the fucking vegas strip at dusk

[monty-glasses-roxy]

I should make a Security Breach rewrite AU where events from my Plex History stuff either happened or didn't happen to basically shake up everything.

This would mean Monty is an actual dinosaur, Chica can fucking fly, Roxy and Foxy are a wild west bandit duo with horsies instead of go-karts and that's as far as I've got but god damn can you imagine?? Gregory trying to run and getting fucking lassoed or snatched into the sky or something like. He'd have to be either a genius to still destroy them or be forced to free at least one of them from Glitchtrap to not die. He could not get away with his canon stuff here he's just doomed if he tries that lmao

Story Prompt 74

Each person had their own level to navigate, their own demons to face. Yet, amidst the chaos, they all shared one truth: they were in this together.

On the corner of 8th and Elm, a worn-out diner stood, its neon sign flickering like a heartbeat. Inside, the aroma of coffee mingled with the scent of desperation. A waitress with tired eyes poured refills for the regulars, their stories etched in the lines of their faces.

At a booth in the corner, two strangers found themselves drawn together by the invisible thread of shared struggle. One, a weary artist with paint-stained hands, sought solace in his sketches. The other, a young woman with dreams as fragile as glass, juggled bills like promises she couldn't keep.

"You ever feel like you're just spinning your wheels?" the artist mused, swirling his coffee.

The woman nodded, her gaze fixed on the rain-streaked window. "Every damn day. Like no matter how hard I try, I can't catch a break."

Their words hung in the air, a symphony of echoes bouncing off the linoleum floor. In that moment, they weren't just strangers – they were kindred spirits, bound by the shared burden of existence.
