Let me tell you a secret—people like you more when you tell them good stories. But you probably don’t know how to tell your stories in the RIGHT way. You have 100+ good stories inside of you, and you can use them to STAND OUT on dates, in job interviews, when talking to your children, applying for a grant, and so much more! Storytelling is inherently seductive, but it is an art form that needs to be learned.

In this 4-part class, you’ll learn a 3-step neuroscience backed framework to tell REALLY good stories. And the class is set up as a workshop, so you’ll share a few drafts out loud and learn from your peers as you go.

Gripping, powerful, and intensive, you’ll walk away from this class with at least two polished stories AND a timeless framework that you can use for the rest of your life.

No prior experience is required! Please bring a pen and notebook for in-class exercises.
