Workshops
I've used stories for education, for communication in business, and for wellbeing in healthcare workers.I have also run workshops for beginner and developing storytellers, to develop their craft. Here are some examples of workshops I have run: contact me to discuss your requirements.
Spinning straw into Gold: storytelling for innovation and communication in healthcare.
A good story will connect, engage, inspire and, importantly, be remembered. This fun and creative workshop aims to equip participants with an understanding of the scientific evidence for the origins and usage of storytelling, and the components that make a strong story.
By the end of the day you will leave with the tools to turn your ideas into stories that are authentic, memorable and engaging.
