Breakout Session
Story it Up!
Storytelling is vital to your speaking and writing. There isn’t a stronger connection between you and your audience or you and your reader than storytelling. Stories help us remember, tell us how to live, and set our moral compasses. A story well told will reach through the ears of your audience and through the eyes of your readers straight to their heart. Inside each of us is a natural born storyteller, waiting to be released. In this workshop with Karen Porter, you will learn how to craft and tell a story. And discover what makes good storytelling. Story structure is critical to fiction, even more important in non-fiction, and crucial to your speaking success. Learn where to find good stories, and how to build your personal storytellers list. They may never remember your bio, but they’ll never forget your stories.
