Tell It Like It Was
Getting to the Heart of the Stories That Stay with Us
You don’t remember everything.
But you remember certain moments—clearly, sometimes unexpectedly.
A conversation.
A decision.
A moment that shifted something, even if you didn’t realize it at the time.
Those are the stories that stay.
And they’re usually the ones that matter.
In this 3-hour interactive workshop, you’ll learn how to take a moment like that and shape it into a story that has clarity, meaning, and impact.
This is not about telling your whole life story.
It’s about choosing one moment—and understanding why it stayed with you.
Together, we’ll explore:
-
How to recognize the stories that carry meaning
-
How to focus and organize a story so it actually lands
-
How to uncover what the story is really about
-
How to tell it in a way that others can feel and connect with
You’ll be guided through simple, thoughtful exercises and have the opportunity (but never the pressure) to share your story in a supportive environment.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll walk away with:
-
A clearer understanding of your own story
-
A meaningful moment shaped into a tellable story
-
Tools you can use again and again
This workshop is for anyone who:
-
Has a story they’ve been thinking about for a while
-
Wants to understand their own experiences better
-
Is curious about storytelling but doesn’t know where to begin
No experience necessary.
Just bring a moment that stayed with you—and a willingness to see it more clearly.
