About this Event

Speaking Workshop: Storytelling Dynamics


What makes one speaker engaging while the other falls flat?

The secret is not necessarily in the words being said - it's in the delivery.

People get bored...and quickly. But equipt storytellers engage audiences and hold their attention - from beginning to end.


In this workshop, you'll learn how to take your stories from fine to captivating.


We'll cover:

  • the secret all good storytellers know
  • how to engage audiences, even with dry material
  • exercises to practice telling engaging stories
  • and more


This will be a fun one!


Whether you're a beginner or just looking to sharpen your skills, this session will help you connect, engage, and captivate your audience with ease. Get ready to unleash your inner storyteller and have a blast while doing it.

Don’t miss out on this energizing, hands-on experience!


The workshops in this series are designed to stand alone - so even if you haven't attended other events, you won't be behind!

If you have attended previous classes, this workshop will build on what you've already learned.


Doors open at 5:30pm.

Workshop begins at 6:00pm.

Please register in advance.
