About this Event

Spin the yarn (not the yawn) with Susan Luke Evans

We know we have great stories to tell, an incredible message to share, and the ability to enthrall an audience with our tales of triumph.

But are those stories truly landing for those who are listening?

On September 14, join us as we host the incredible Susan Luke Evans for a special afternoon session on crafting real stories that provide real-deal impact– rave reviews, repeat business, and a basket full of future referrals.

______________

Land Your Stories Every Time& Get More Business!

with Susan Luke Evans, CSP, Global Speaking Fellow

From trainers to emerging speakers to Hall of Famers, you already know that stories are the lifeblood of a great program. But too often, you might find yourself wondering:

  • Is this story landing?
  • Is this story too long or too short?
  • Are your talks getting you more business?

When a story doesn't land perfectly, it’s not just a missed moment (on stage), it’s a missed opportunity for rave reviews, repeat business, and future referrals.

No rigid formulas… just real, authentic stories that resonate with every audience.

I don't believe in cookie-cutter, 7-step templates that make every speaker sound identical. Audiences can spot a script from a mile away; they want the real deal.

Every participant will come away with practical strategies to:

  • lean into your authentic voice
  • master your timing
  • sculpt your unique experiences into unforgettable moments

Plus real time practice, valuable feedback/insight on stories shared, and a new or revised 3 minute story that will provide opportunities for more referrals!

This September, it’s Storytime.

Join us September 14 and land ‘em like a pro!
