Training & Collaboration
My Method
I train Comms & Programs teams to lead ethical storytelling initiatives — then collaborate with you to bring them to life.
I’ve refined my methodology through designing and facilitating participant-led storytelling trainings at every scale — from day-long partner workshops to multi-week continuing education series for communications professionals to year-long "Train the Trainer" programs for public radio teams.
Now, I offer tailored organizational trainings, as well as public workshop series at partner institutions like the Salt Institute for Documentary Studies.
The Approach: I provide hands-on, collaborative training in ethical storytelling practices tailored to your cross-functional priorities, with actionable resources that build on your team's existing skills. Then, I provide ongoing consulting support in the areas where you need it most — whether that's editorial, outreach, strategy, or implementation.
Why it Delivers: A tailored approach ensures we work in alignment with key priorities while supporting the work ethically — empowering storytellers and staff alike. Storytelling considerations look different in different communities. Collaboration brings your team's diverse skills and perspectives into the process, building the cross-functional understanding needed for long-term success. By blending flexibility and actionability, I ensure your team can get started efficiently AND go the distance, leading meaningful initiatives that deepen relationships and compel audiences for years to come.
