Training & Collaboration

My Method

I train organizational storytellers to lead story collection initiatives — then collaborate with you to bring them to life.

I teach public workshops and courses on relationship-based storytelling methods (including at the Salt Institute for Documentary Studies), and also offer custom organizational trainings tailored to your team's existing skills and communications needs.

The Approach: I offer training across the full arc of story work—from developing strategy and creating context for storytelling, to crafting interview questions, facilitating authentic conversations, navigating consent, and editing for impact. Training can be comprehensive (covering end-to-end methodology) or targeted to specific skill areas. Throughout, we connect concepts and techniques to your real-life communications goals, and apply them with actionable resources and hands-on exercises.

I also consult on an ongoing basis to support you in the areas you need most—whether strategy, facilitation, or production—ensuring your storytelling work integrates seamlessly and hits your goals.

Why it Delivers: Grounding training in your actual work means your team doesn't just learn concepts—they build something they can immediately use. Combining skill-building with ongoing consulting support ensures you can launch initiatives confidently and adapt as you go. The result? Storytelling capacity that’s truly sustainable, deepening relationships with your communities and compelling your audiences for years to come.
