Teams & Workplaces

Storytelling can change how we understand ourselves, each other, and the people around us.

I offer hands-on workshops for teams and organizations exploring identity, perspective, communication, representation, and the choices underneath the stories we tell.

Sessions combine discussion, real-world examples, guided reflection, and practical exercises. They are available for professional development, staff learning days, retreats, conferences, and other workplace programming.

Strong Foundations

An interactive workshop about listening, trust, connection, and building stronger relationships across different lived experiences.

The way we understand other people is shaped by our own experiences.

Participants explore the many experiences that shape who we are and how those experiences influence the way we understand other people. They practise both sides of meaningful connection: listening with curiosity and care, and experiencing for themselves the vulnerability it can take to share something personal.

Together, the group looks at what helps people feel safe enough to speak honestly, what can unintentionally create distance or exclusion, and what changes when we make more room for experiences different from our own.

The workshop is reflective, but it is also practical. Participants leave with tools they can use to listen more intentionally, communicate with greater care, and create relationships and environments where people feel more seen, understood, and included.

Strong Foundations works well for staff teams, educators, nonprofits, community organizations, arts and cultural organizations, and other workplaces interested in strengthening how people connect and communicate with one another.

Pricing & Formats

Two-hour workshops start at $1200 + GST. Half-day, full-day, and custom formats are also available for groups looking for deeper hands-on development and practice.

The Story in Your Hands

A hands-on workshop about the choices we make when we tell stories about other people.

Every story is shaped by choices.

What do we include? What gets left out? Whose voice is heard? 

The Story in Your Hands explores representation, framing, perspective, and responsibility through practical examples and a hands-on storytelling exercise.

Participants work with the same set of information and see how different choices can create very different stories.

The workshop is especially relevant for people whose work involves communicating about clients, communities, participants, students, staff, or other people whose experiences are not their own.

The goal is not to create one perfect version of a story, it is to become more aware of the choices we are already making.

Pricing & Formats

90-minute workshops start at $850 + GST. Extended and customized sessions are also available.
