We all tell stories. What my training aims to do is help you tell stories more effectively to your audience - whether that’s 40 kids in a class, your colleagues at work or your family.
A workshop usually features 3 core elements:
- Me demonstrating different ways of telling - see the video below;
- You practising your telling skills;
- Discovering strategies appropriate to make your telling effective for your audience.
Craft Skills
This magical picture is simple to make and is useful for any story with a transformation - poor girl into Princess, frog into prince etc. Just one of the many skills you’ll learn in my workshop

Thanks so much for such a fantastic workshop! You really breathed some life back into me! It was possibly one of the best workshops I've ever been to - with a mix of stories and drama as well. You're really very engaging. - Bernadette, Fanling Govt Secondary School, Hong Kong (May 2009)
