Description

What makes one speaker engaging while the other falls flat?

The secret is not necessarily in the words being said – it’s in the delivery.

People get bored…and quickly. But equipped storytellers engage audiences and hold their attention – from beginning to end.

In this workshop, you’ll learn how to take your stories from fine to captivating.

We’ll cover:

  • the secret all good storytellers know

  • how to engage audiences, even with dry material

  • exercises to practice telling engaging stories

  • and more

This will be a fun one!

Whether you’re a beginner or just looking to sharpen your skills, this session will help you connect, engage, and captivate your audience with ease. Get ready to unleash your inner storyteller and have a blast while doing it.

Don’t miss out on this energizing, hands-on experience!

The workshops in this series are designed to stand alone – so even if you haven’t attended other events, you won’t be behind!

If you have attended previous classes, this workshop will build on what you’ve already learned.

Doors open at 5:30pm.

Workshop begins at 6:00pm.

Please register in advance.
