“Stories are the most powerful way to share information in the world today.”
Transformative Storytelling
The power of the story is in the “before-and-after” picture we are able to paint for a listener. The process of mining our life for experiences that produce some kind of shift or turning point is transformative for us as human beings, and the process of crafting that lived experience into a story to be shared with others activates the artist within.
This workshop series provides exercises discovering the stories that lie in true, lived experiences, and a step-by-step guide to crafting them from the page to the stage. Learn to look at ordinary and extraordinary life experiences through the storytelling lens, and apply the tools of story development to discover different approaches to sharing them. This training can be an intensive half or full day experience, or take place over 4 weeks with different skills the focus of each class, and time for participants to try out different drafts of their stories.

Storytelling for Professionals Talks, Classes & Presentations
Stories are the currency of human connection, and one of the most persuasive and compelling forms of communication. There have never been so many competing demands for attention as there are now, when there is so much essential knowledge to communicate. For professionals working to help people create their lives, with an important message to share to clients, colleagues, or the communities they serve, the ability to craft and deliver a compelling story is a most effective and empowering tool to impart ideas, information or inspiration. Well-crafted stories can frame and explain important concepts as well as engage listeners in ways that add color, imagination and emotional significance to important information and in this way make the content memorable and meaningful.
Through her company, Lifestage Inc, Jude Treder-Wolff provides workshops in storytelling for professional presentations or talks, for the classroom and for the stage.
