Tell Your Story! 5 Week Storytelling Adventure
Tell Your Story! A 5-Week Storytelling Adventure at the Mopco
Storytelling isn’t a talent. It’s a skill. And skills can be practiced.
You tell stories all day long — at work, at dinner, in the group chat, in the car. Some land. Some… wander. This class is about getting good at it: building the muscles that make people lean in, no matter what you’re telling or who you’re telling it to.
