Storytelling for Personal Growth
The ability to tell a great story is one of the most effective ways to connect with and have a positive impact on others. In fact, research shows that people who tell stories well are seen as more likeable and trustworthy, and that anyone can develop the skills to discover and develop stories that maximize their awesomeness. Storytelling is also a very useful art form because there are so many opportunities to share personal accounts of important life experiences, from a birthday tribute, wedding toast or other milestone moment with friends and family, to classroom presentations. The skills and concepts explored in this workshop are also extremely helpful for writing about personal experiences, e.g. preparing college essays.
This workshop will use interactive experience to explore some of the basics of great storytelling about personal experiences, which involves using words, ideas and story structure to carry a listener along an emotional and imaginative journey. We will discuss ways to choose experiences from one’s own life and some skills for transforming true events into artistic, compelling stories.
