Valerie Garcia presents:
THE MODERN CAMPFIRE
A storytelling workshop
WHAT IS IT?
Since the beginning of time, humans have told stories as a way to communicate, share history, and create community. In the past, stories were often told around campfires. Today, storytelling is an art that continues to bring people together around products, ideas, and causes. The Modern Campfire is a workshop designed to help you become a better storyteller. You'll learn about what makes a great story, and how to apply those lessons to engaging stage presentations, written content, online marketing, videos, and more.
This two-day workshop will help you craft a message that is compelling, emotional, and effective. In a small group environment, we'll cover:
-
story boarding - how to start with an idea and make it come to life
-
visuals - how to source and match the right images to complement your story
-
presentation skills - creative ways to turn an idea into a compelling tale, then deliver it with passion from stage or in front of a group. You'll leave this workshop with the tools to create and deliver keynotes, TED style talks, or customer presentations that shine.
If you want to become a better leader, speaker, writer, or teacher, this session is for you. If you have a story to tell and need some help bringing it to life, this session is for you. And if you are ready to dig deep and craft that message you want to share with the world, this session is definitely for you.
Join us around the campfire.
"Storytelling is the most powerful way to
put ideas into the world."

Workshop groups will be small, intimate, and interactive. We'll help each other take great ideas and develop them into even better stories in a supportive and fun environment. Participants should come prepared to leave their comfort zones at the door and embrace the joyful (and sometimes painful) work of bringing their story to life.
Each participant will receive an email prior to the event outlining details, prep work, and expectations. Workshops consist of both learning and storytelling time, spread over two full days.
