Telling Your Story

with Christopher Rivas

Real, honest stories, told well, are like a super power we all have access to. We become masters of perspective. Telling stories that bind us, that say "we are all in this together," helps us to inspire, heal, motivate, gain perspective, build community, and establish real connections with those far and wide.

Together we'll uncover the power of Storytelling Magic. We'll get a little deeper than the "elevator pitch." You'll learn how and why to share something that powerfully communicates what you know, what you don't (yet) know, why you do what you do, your personal mission and core values.

Maybe you want to write a book or mission statement, sell a product, publish an essay, or just speak your truth - this workshop is for you!

Human narratives are my single greatest passion. As a speaker, I work with organizations all over the world using the power of storytelling to craft messages that matter, that are memorable, that are relatable, that are human.
