Tell Me About Yourself: An Interactive Forum for (Re)defining Narratives

Join Zoo Labs on Wed, 10/22 for an inspiring lunchtime session with Musa Murchison: Tell Me About Yourself: A Storytelling Forum for (Re)defining Personal & Professional Narratives

In any number of personal and professional settings, we’re frequently called to share who we are and how we make impact. But it’s not uncommon to struggle describing (not 'what' but) why you do - especially in the day-to-day conversations that can either accelerate or impede your progress.

Led by Musa Murchison, the Tell Me About Yourself (TMAY) forum is an interactive learning experience and moderated discussion on accurate, artful self-definition in a momentous season of change. Based on the six-step narrative excavation and development method shared in Musa's book, Tell Me About Yourself, the forum will help you:

• Learn how to identify, confidently articulate and champion your gifts, talents, and pursuits
• Explore best practices for successfully navigating some of your most challenging or recurring conversational moments; from first encounters and communicating new ideas to online bios and discussing personal and professional transitions
• Get scenario specific practice and feedback for initiating meaningful conversations that foster genuine connections
• Learn within a group of other artist-entrepreneurs

If you're ready to own your voice, feel good about the stories you're telling (especially about yourself), and create and attract more aligned opportunities, this is for you.
