Storytelling Mojo: How to Get Paid for Being the Real You

Classroom

What You’ll Learn

"Do people get what you do? Do they get who you are?

This crazy-fun interactive course will teach you how to use storytelling to position your work, attract more opportunities, and get paid for being the real you.

Storytelling is key to attracting the right people, projects and recognition to your career.
The secret is to talk about yourself without bragging, boasting, or being a bore.
While still being memorable, compelling, and relatable.

Problem is nobody taught you how to write your bio or tell your story. Until now.

By the end of this class you will have learned:

Why changing your "about" page and bio will transform your business
How to talk powerfully about yourself without bragging, boasting, or being a bore
Super-hero origins: how to craft a powerful backstory (regardless of your career to date)
The chocolate secret and how to connect with a wider audience on social media
Simple storytelling shortcuts to increase your likeability (...even if you're a little shy)

This workshop is based on my popular online e-course and 7-step storytelling system, The New About Me (AKA how to write a kick-ass bio without being a jerk). With more than 350 graduates, this breakthrough approach has been featured in Wired, LifeHacker, and AOLJobs.

For the past decade, I've taught storytelling to thousands of change-makers, innovators, and disruptors.

In 2009, I self-published Believe Me: a Storytelling Manifesto for Change-makers and Innovators. I'm also the curator of the Reinvention Summit: Storytelling's Biggest Online Conference, where I've interviewed 50 of the leading storytelling experts in the world. I speak at dozens of venues each year including SXSW, BlogWorld, Etsy, NASA, and Zappos. I'm left-handed, color-blind, and eat more chocolate than the average human.
