I loved this! I'm taking another storytelling course at the time, and this is by far the best, and don't get me wrong, the other one is pretty great too, but this one actually made me sit and write my first story, and it only took me 1 hour! And not to brag, but I think I did I great job ;) There's no fluff in here, just follow these instructions, practice and in no time, you will be calling yourself a great storyteller.

The course has too much of talks and the resources are very textual. Also, the way the narration has been clearly shows too much of reading out from the script and doesn’t come out naturally. It would have been better if there were more videos, case studies; application-based formats for other sensory preferences. The examples and the sample stories are irrelevant and cannot be used in a business context. The overall story structure did not stick very well.
