Tell Your Story for Impact and Investment 

As a speech coach, story performance coach and presentation skills coach and trainer, Andrea helps you access your authentic voice to tell your story using creative expression and emotional connection techniques that inspire action.

Learn how to tell your organization’s story so your clients, customers and audiences will get it. Andrea teaches how to inject the emotional connection and theatrical techniques that great actors use to engage and entertain their audiences, into your stories so you have the greatest opportunity to effectively connect with your audience.

Workshop participants learn to:

  • Clarify, organize and refine their message for targeted focus.
  • Explore ways to personalize their organization’s story so they can share it from the heart.
  • Balance factual content with the drama of storytelling to amplify their points.
  • Inject emotional connections and theatrical techniques into their stories to engage their audiences while tapping into their natural styles and strengths.
  • Take advantage of powerful “nonverbals” – vocal delivery, eye contact, silence, and use of space – for maximum attention and connection.

“Andrea’s storytelling training is interactive and engaging and I received very positive feedback from my team. I’m much more aware of how to tell a story and tailor my messages, including how to use a story to put data into context. Now we can customize our stories for volunteer recruitment, donor presentations and community events.”

Get Your Story Straight on the Page and On the Stage

Workshop presented with Barbara McNichol

Entrepreneurs and leaders of organizations can’t rely on simply conveying facts to call people to action. People act when they feel moved, when they “get” your message deep in their bones. Otherwise, why would they invest their precious resources on what you offer?

Whether you’re speaking to a single person or a roomful—or writing web copy or articles—a strong emotional appeal strengthens your chances to inspire your audience. Through this program, co-presented with expert editor Barbara McNichol, you’ll learn how to personalize stories and share them from the heart—both on the stage and on the page.

“I’ve been interested in the topic of Telling Your Story Powerfully for months, so being able to brainstorm at this session with fellow participants was extremely helpful. I’m now able to share more clearly why I am passionate about ending domestic violence and how the services my agency offers help to accomplish that.”

“As fundraisers, we value telling the life-changing stories of the nonprofit agencies we represent. The skill development we learned from Andrea and Barbara in their ‘Get Your Story Straight: Tell Your Story Powerfully on the Stage and on the Page’ session at our AFP meeting/workshop was highly practical and perfect for our needs.”
