Introduction to Personal Storytelling with Terry Wolfisch Cole
Ira Glass of This American Life says “Great stories happen to people who know how to tell them.”
Do you want to get better at captivating listeners? Whether you want to tell your story on stage, in a business meeting, during a college interview, or at the family table, professional storyteller Terry Wolfisch Cole of Tell Me Another will teach you everything you need to know to engage an audience at this full-day, in-person workshop.

After lunch, we’ll create and enjoy an open mic show together.
