ABOUT OUR STORIFY WORKSHOPS AND CLASS SERIES:

Our lives are like a book that is still being written. Within that book are chapters. Within each chapter, are scenes, tensions, life-changing moments and unrepeatable characters. These are the stories of our lives. Telling stories is the best way to share about our lives and the impact of our experiences, and it has a reach far beyond what we can see. Sometimes these stories are about significant events and heroic struggles, sometimes, they are about unexpected awakenings in the course of an ordinary day. The power of the story is in the “before-and-after” picture we are able to paint for a listener. and taking them through an emotional arc step by step.

Knowing how to make the story shine in the telling is a powerful communication skill. Our workshops and class series are hands-on learning experiences. We use story-mining exercises to discover the story in real-life experience and do experiential exercises that practice the fundamental skills of crafting it. The objective is to learn the art of story, so your life experiences are available as a resource that maximizes your message in a professional presentation and rocks the room if you perform it in a show. The capacity to tell a story well makes you and what you say more memorable.

Research shows that a well-told tale has a greater impact on listeners or workshop participants than a lecture or sharing of facts. Stories are the most powerful way to communicate creatively and persuasively about ideas and to share information with clients, colleagues, and communities. They convey authenticity and are highly effective ways to illuminate ideas and information. We discuss ways to integrate facts, data, and information into a true story, and provide a solid footing for the use of story in professional communication.

These classes are appropriate for anyone who wants tobe more memorable and powerful when communicating in a professional setting, or in a performance.
