About this event

What's Your Story?

Been procrastinating writing THAT book?

Been procrastinating sharing YOUR life story?

This workshop is the ticket! Here's what you can expect...

  • Fast-paced, fun and funny
  • Highly participatory and exercise-centric
  • Safe and supportive/Extremely practical
  • Inspired by professionals who are 'currently' living THE DREAM

The day consists of:

  • Expert critique from Dr. Janice Hooker-Fortman (multiple best selling author) on book writing techniques and story line.
  • Expert critique from Loren Michaels Harris (professional keynote speaker w/Goalcast video 14M views)
  • Mini-lessons on managing fear, reading a room, storytelling, how to properly 'brain dump'...and much more.
  • How to handle Q&A sessions, preparing a presentation and more.
  • A performance of your talk and/or book presentation to a live audience.
  • Time for Q&A to get your biggest concerns and questions answered.
  • Mid-day speed rounds of practice and feedback

Who should attend?

Beginner to intermediate speakers and authors.

  • All speakers and authors can benefit from critique and are welcome at any level, but most attendees typically have low to medium speaking experience/confidence.

People who enjoy small workshops (45-60 people)

People who thrive within a judgement free zone and respond well to safe and constructive critique.

People who are prepared to move within their purpose via the sharing of their stories of adversities and achievements.

Anyone interested in leaving their legacy for the world to learn and heal from after they have departed for what is next.

Anyone who is ready to trade in "Someday/One day" for TODAY!

Agenda & Details:

  • You will develop skills to: control your fears, tell better stories, structure and write better talks, stories, and content. You will be able to present your work/content with greater confidence and control.

Prep:

  • Bring 90 seconds of a presentation, short talk or story you wish to work on. (It's perfectly fine if this is something of an 'outline', sketch, or is still within the concept build-out stage.)
  • Lunch IS provided (so no getting hangry at our workshop)
  • Recommended: bring your phone with a video camera (only you will see the recordings)
