Rescheduled Date from July!!
Have a story in mind you’d like to share . . . BUT you have some concern that someone you love may be hurt by it . . . OR it includes people who identify differently than you do and you don’t want to make cultural faux pas or assumptive statements?
You can authentically tell your story and avoid the pitfalls of offending loved ones, neighbors or colleagues, and/or being culturally insensitive!
Learn how with Denise Keyes Page – TEDX Speaker, Story Artist, President of National Speakers Association; CT Chapter & of the Connecticut Storytellers Board of Directors.
See how to examine your story or speech for unintentional ouches while retaining your authentic story and personal style and beliefs.
This workshop is valued by everyone.
Oh, and did we mention it’s fun? Promise!
