Telling Stories That Matter

Where do great stories come from? We are surrounded by moving stories that go unheard. Stories of truth, connection, loss, and faith. The most meaningful stories are often right in front of us waiting to be revealed. In this four-week module, you will engage in an interactive and hands-on journey where you will sharpen skills, gain insights, and build community. Together, we will discover the possibilities of the stories hidden all around us and highlight the key elements in crafting stories that matter.

“Telling Stories that Matter” is a step-by-step guided exploration of creating resonating story narratives from nothing. This is an interactive and hands-on journey where you will sharpen skills, gain insights, and build community. While most of the course can be completed on your own time, there will be opportunities to connect with others and build skills for storytelling in any environment. On February 12, there will be a Virtual Live Session from 4-6 P.M. EST.
