Denise Manning Keyes Page is founder of Ubuntu Storytellers. As a solo artist she has performed at the National Storytelling Network’s Annual Conference, the Women’s Storytelling Festival in VA, Artists Standing Strong Together, “Better Said Than Done,” International Festival of Arts and Ideas, the Moth Main Stage, and more.
A Connecticut native, Denise tells personal stories vulnerably and authentically and invites listeners to share the journey, even if seemingly different from their own. They find the place of engagement, of shared humanity. Her workshops are designed to help you do the same through your stories. Perhaps more importantly you’ll find “you.”
Denise weaves her professional experience as former teacher, professional storyteller, community advocate, parent, midlife coach and facilitator into compelling, results-based workshops.
She tells to enlighten and inspire, to laugh and cry and most of all to build bridges of understanding. She can coach you to do the same. The feedback she hears most often is “I can’t believe I discovered all of this in just these few hours!”
Many of her stories as well as her Ted Talk can be found on You Tube.
In this experiential workshop, we will explore why our stories matter—personally and professionally. Participants will consider the stories that inspire and/or the stories that may be holding them back, and how excavating and framing lived experiences can become powerful sources of connection and purpose.In our time together we will begin to:
- Recognize the stories we carry including the experiences that inspire, shape, or sometimes hold us back.
- Recognize the experiences that have shaped who they are, what they value, and what they offer the world.
- Identify the connection between personal story and professional/business story.
- Understand how authentic storytelling creates connection, credibility, and trust.
Your story is not just something that happened to you. It is a source of understanding, connection, and possibility.
