Writer
Life is a story. We all have stories. And corporations and non-profits have many. Whether motivational, learning, informational, or mind-changing, the story is at the heart of the matter. A story is not manipulative or made up; it is the truth. A story uses words when necessary, interviews when convincing, images when compelling, and emotions-- always. Life is made up of rhythms, and Brien's storytelling is rhythmic, musical, and mind altering.
Teacher
For forty years, Brien has created communications that follow a time-tested set of "rules": storytelling, pacing, psychological and emotional factors that must be adhered to in order to move an audience to awareness, agreement, and action. Brien has taught these rules to nearly 500 of his own employees over the course of his career, and he is now selectively offering these tenants in the form of group and individual classes for competitive corporates, non-profits, and fellow producers.
Producer
A story's rhythm is orchestrated in a medium's production elements. How much is told and how much is shown must be in balance. Words, pictures, sounds and music must ring true. Each production craft must be executed to the fullest, but also must always be executed in awareness of the other elements' strengths. The audience's collective mind can only hold seven concepts at once. A production gaff can distract and destroy concentration. That's why people talk about "swaying" audiences.
