Designed as a progressive series, each session builds on the last, giving participants time to explore, develop, and grow their storytelling skills over several months. Across three workshops, participants will be introduced to the foundations of oral storytelling, including the importance of storytelling traditions and the core skills behind compelling personal stories. Together, we will explore how stories are shaped, how narrative structure works, and how storytellers engage a room and bring a story to life.

You’ve told personal stories before and know they can be powerful, but finding the right story, structure, and level of detail to hold an audience’s attention remains a challenge.

This workshop focuses on refining personal narrative storytelling. Drawing on live storytelling, performance, and coaching practice, it explores what makes a personal story work: how stories are structured, where they lose momentum, what to keep, what to cut, and how deliberate narrative choices shape audience engagement.
