Storytelling Crash Course is a three-hour introductory workshop that will teach you how to identify, develop, and deliver the most compelling stories from your life. We teach a style of storytelling that pulls from your own experiences and can be used to improve your conversationalism, public speaking skills, and even memory retention.
