Stories Unplugged: A Deep Dive into Not Just What Makes Stories Good, But What Makes Them WORK

In this full-day workshop, award-winning storyteller Kelly Swanson, CSP will take us on her journey through story and:

• Share some of her stories and unpack them for you, to learn how and why they work
• Teach you some principles behind finding, crafting, and telling stories that matter
• Do story makeovers with audience members in real time!

Kelly Swanson is a Certified Speaker Professional (CSP), award-winning storyteller, comedian, motivational speaker, Huffington Post contributor, and cast member of The Fashion Hero television show airing on Amazon Prime.

She is also author of Who Hijacked My Fairy Tale, The Land of If Only, The Story Formula,  The Gutsy Girls Pocket Guide to Public Speaking, and The Affirmation Journal for Positive Thinking.

Kelly's wacky wit and powerful stories have charmed hearts and tickled funny bones for over 20 years. In addition to her role as a funny motivational speaker, Kelly teaches people how she does it by sharing what she has learned about connecting and engaging to have more influence in business, through the use of one tool – strategic storytelling.

While she is sharing her own powerful journey through story and the formula she discovered, you come to that magical place where the art of story meets the business of persuasion.
