StoryTelling/Communications Workshops
for STUDENTS & TEACHERS

Workshops are available for grade levels from Pre-School to Post-Graduate School
participation is high as students eagerly demonstrate their newly acquired communications skills

• Learn the components of effective, compelling communications
• What makes people WANT to listen to you speak

• How to use your tools for communications
• Developing new tools for communications
• Turn simple statements into colorful, emotion packed stories
• Whether telling a story or in general conversation, become the speaker that people WANT to listen to
• Learn from Nationally Acclaimed Master StoryTeller - Calvin Sims

StoryTelling & Communications Workshops teach you to take plain statements and - using the tools from the StoryTeller's Toolbox - construct a compelling story that grabs your listener's attention.

What are the elements of a story that captivate us? How does the storyteller use his voice inflection, his gestures, his costume or something as subtle yet as powerful as a simple pause, to guide his listeners on a fantastic journey through the use of his language art?

Learn how to paint a canvas, a beautiful masterpiece, using words and other attributes that define dynamic verbal communications.
