The Storyteller's Start

“I don’t know how to tell stories, Carly.” I’ll show you a repeatable framework in this workshop.

“I don’t really think I have many stories to share.” Yes you do, and I’ll give examples of where to find them.

“Even if I did have stories, they’re not ‘powerful’ and I don’t really know if they’ll be ‘resonant.’” The first step of telling powerfully resonant stories is accepting that your stories are worthy of being heard. Once we do that together, I’ll give you specific tools to add magnetism and lusciousness to your stories that will draw out their power and resonance.

When it came to storytelling, I felt lost. I understood the importance of learning the art form, but I really had no easy structure to follow. I also didn't know where to start. Therefore, 'not knowing' kept me procrastinating when I need to write content and/or my book!

Carly is a phenomenal storyteller, and to see where it all comes from is amazing and led me to trust her EVEN MORE. There's a simple, easy to understand framework that has been under our noses this whole time! I love how Carly broke this down for me and gave real examples in her training. The videos are also all under 10mins (most of them at 3mins) which made learning and the ability to finish the course so manageable.

How long will it take me to move through The Storyteller's Start?
Going through The Storyteller's Start will take you just about 45 minutes. I kept it short while potent so that you can have your first powerful and resonant story ready to share with the world as soon as today (if you're up for it!). All videos are under 10 minutes, with most coming in around 3 minutes!

Writing your first story will take a bit of time, and will be different for everyone. We encourage you to write your first story rather quickly so that you can simply get it written—as that will make each ensuing story even simpler to write.
What if I don't know how to write stories, or am not a good writer at all?
The beauty of The Storyteller's Start is that you get to have ZERO prior knowledge of storytelling as I walk you through the entire process from the very first "hook" to the ending line.

Many of the 50+ clients we've previously led through this process were self-proclaimed "bad at writing"—though remember, the stories you create from this process don't necessarily have to be written but rather can be spoken—but they all found the foundations, frameworks, and tools I share here to be wildly supportive in getting words on "paper" and letting their stories be told.
What if I'm already pretty good at telling stories. Is this for me?
The Storyteller's Start is in its nature an introduction to storytelling. However, as you may already know, everyone has a unique flavor of storytelling which, when combined, can help you to establish YOUR unique flavor, too.

We've found over time that our clients who are already pretty good at telling stories like the foundations, frameworks, and tools that we share in this program, because 1) it brings them to the very foundations of good storytelling, which are often overlooked in other courses and programs, and 2) these same pieces of the program also support them in getting better at WRITING stories, as many of them can TELL a great story but trying to write them is a whole other ballgame.

My Nana’s mom walked into a butcher's shop one day when the attractive fellow behind the counter asked her, “What can I get for you?”

Faster than a bolt of lightning she quipped, “I’ll take you, please.”

A few months later they were married and moving from small town Pennsylvania to the Pacific Northwest, where they lived happily married for more years than I’ve been alive and had many wonderful memories and kids.

When you learn to tell powerfully resonant stories—especially in your marketing content—you not only become more human to your audience, you become the only human they want to work with* much like my great grandmother knew my great grandfather was the only boy she wanted to kiss.

*At least, the only human who does the type of thing that you do.

That’s why I created The Storyteller’s Start: because I’ve experienced the power of a great story from both sides, witnessed its ability to move us humans deeply into anything from tears to fits of laughter, and know just how much a powerful and resonant story sticks.

As a business owner who’s ready to go beyond the classically bland and boring marketing schtick, you know that storytelling is one way to add depth and resonance to your human-to-human relationship with your audience.

To join The Storyteller’s Start, you don’t have to know what stories you want to tell or how to craft a story (yet), you simply need to know that you’re ready to embark on the journey of embracing your inner storyteller—who yes, certainly exists.
