What is it about?
Telling stories is more than a folksy way to relate to
people. It is a powerful and persuasive vehicle that
teachers can use to get their message across with
maximum impact and minimum resistance.
An outstanding teacher will use stories to
 Tell who they are, building credibility, rapport, and
trust with their students
 Teach important lessons and communicate values
 Give feedback, motivate, inspire, and change
behaviour, without giving advice or commands
 Communicate their vision and generate buy-in
Logic, reason, and data lead to conclusions; stories
tap emotions and lead to action. Stories move people.
Why you should attend?
In this workshop, the trainer will discuss the
effectiveness of motivational stories in the
language classroom as both a tool for language
learning and for enhancing learning strategies,
thus improving the learners’ motivation for
language acquisition.
The trainer will share some of his favorite motivational
stories that he uses to help himself and his students
construct a more useful way of looking at and
hopefully tackling the world of learning English
specifically and life in general. The participants will
then be asked to share their successful motivational
stories in pairs or small groups. Participants will go
away with a better appreciation of the power of
stories to both teach language, and enhance
motivation and practical learning skills.

Who is speaking?
Mr. David Goldwich was born and raised in Miami,
Florida, USA. He has a BA degree in Political Science
with a focus on Political Communication, Organization
Theory, and Psychology. He has an MBA with a
specialization in Business Management and
Organization and also earned a JD degree.
David practiced law in the United States for more than
ten years, arguing before judges and advocating
before political, governmental, and community bodies.
He is also trained as a mediator. He has experience
managing a small business as well, serving as CEO
of BVS, Inc., an employment screening company,
from 1996-98.
Recognizing that lawyers often perpetuate rather than
solve problems, David began lecturing and training in
1995. He has taught at the tertiary level in the USA
and in Singapore, teaching in the areas of law,
management, organizational behavior,
communications skills, and critical and creative
thinking. In Singapore, he taught at Ngee Ann
Polytechnic as a visiting lecturer for two years,
lecturing and conducting tutorials.
As a trainer, David relies heavily on stories to convey
key points. In addition, David applies the “80/20 Rule”
to training by identifying the few critical tools
necessary for the greatest improvement and
presenting them in a form that is simple to learn and
simple to use. The psychology of learning and NLP
technology feature in all of his material to provide
participants with the visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and
participatory experiences required for better, faster
learning. David's ability, sense of humor, and wealth
of experience enable him to deliver breakthrough
changes at all levels. He has trained participants
ranging from Directors to shop floor personnel.
As a specialist in communication, persuasion, and
presentation skills, David has written numerous
articles on business and communications issues, and
is the author of Why Did the Chicken Cross the
Road?: Lessons in Effective Communication. He has
delivered presentations to large and small audiences,
and hosted a television talk show. As a member of
Toastmasters International, he has won multiple
speech competitions.
