Become A Better Storyteller

October 17, 2025 — Live Session!

Connecting in deeper, more meaningful ways from the stage

One of the best ways to be a more sought-after speaker and effective presenter is to capture your audience’s attention through the stories that you tell from the stage or the front of the room.

Unfortunately, most advice on how to get better at storytelling tends to sound like, “Just be a better storyteller.”

OK… but how?

In this free live session at 10 a.m. Mountain Time on Friday, Oct. 17, I’ll share how to improve your storytelling in ways that feel natural and doable no matter your experience level. I’ll cover:

  • Where most storytelling gets stuck

  • What to include (and discard) from your stories

  • How to find your best stories

  • And more!

Who Should Attend

  • Aspiring and current speakers

  • Conference and workshop presenters

  • Leaders who regularly present at work

  • Anyone looking to level up their storytelling!
