Tricia is as compelling in the classroom as she is on the stage. She is magnetic. — Kate Tellers, Director of MothWorks, The Moth
Storytelling 1 and 2 Workshops
As an instructor with The Moth’s corporate arm, MothWorks, I work with some of America’s top institutions, teaching executives, sales people, and front-line employees how to tell compelling first-person stories. I bring that same expertise to my online workshops, working with people who want to tell stories on a stage or simply communicate with more confidence and authenticity.
A well-told story can move an audience, create common ground, or persuade a potential customer. Drawing from their own experiences, participants in Storytelling 1 and 2 will start to develop compelling first-person narrative stories — a la The Moth — for any audience. Through discussion, video examples, and practice, you will:
- Learn the elements of storytelling
- Tell better stories
- Make an impact
