Event Details

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Bring one story. Leave knowing exactly what makes it land. This free, hands-on storytelling workshop is for professionals and entrepreneurs who want to communicate with more confidence, whether in a presentation, a pitch, an interview, or a toast. No lectures or slides: participants bring one true story from work or life and develop it live, with real feedback from the group, learning techniques they can apply to any story from now on. No public speaking experience needed. Space is limited, so registration is required.

Disclaimer: Please double check event information with the event organizer as events can be canceled, details can change after they are added to our calendar, and errors do occur.
