Storytelling Workshop

What makes a good story? How can you use storytelling to have an impact on your communications? Storytelling is a skill you can practice and bring to networking events, job interviews, or time spent sharing personal stories among friends.  

As part of the ÉTS and Concordia  joint scholarship program, this workshop focusses on what makes a good story, how to tell more compelling stories, and get tips that can help move ideas and anecdotes into stories that influence and inspire. You will have the opportunity to practice in a supportive, safe, and fun atmosphere and receive immediate feedback. Family events, public speaking opportunities, job interviews, presentations – all are opportunities to use stories to convey ideas. 

What is your story?   

How can you participate? Join us in person.
