THE STORIES WE TELL: Creative Communication - with Improv!
What do our personal stories tell about us and how we operate in the world? What is the story we intentionally put out there for others to see? And how do we want our stories that are not yet written to unfold? This presentation and interactive workshop will empower women to craft their personal stories; it will also introduce theater techniques and improv games to help overcome nerves and build confidence in any presentation or performance setting. Join us to learn tools for team building, networking, breaking out of your comfort zone, and commanding your audience!
Guests will also enjoy lunch appetizers, refreshments, and a cash bar from Two Brother's Roundhouse, along with a vendor exhibit before the workshop from local Aurora area businesses. Come join this growing network of women in the Aurora area, learn from other’s stories, and let your own story be heard!
