“We are, as a species, addicted to story. Even when the body goes to sleep, the mind stays up all night, telling itself stories.” – Jonathan Gottschall, The Storytelling Animal
Storytelling is our oldest technology. It is a powerful engine of expression, connection, education and enjoyment. And anyone can learn to improve their storytelling skills! Whether you’re looking to be more entertaining at the pub or on a date, land a new job, or pitch a million-dollar idea, storytelling will give you an edge.
This 60-minute introductory session will help participants understand why stories are so powerful, and learn how to recognize, enhance and share the stories in our own lives.
Ryan Millar is a writer, improviser, and public speaking coach who lives in Amsterdam. He’s passionate about helping people to transform their relationship with public speaking and to improve how they present themselves. His newest book, The Confident Presenter is on exactly that topic. He hosts the Remote Pep Talks podcast, is the dad of two little kids, and has recently been skateboarding again (a little bit).

The FieldTrips experience is defined not only by what the host has to share, but also by how we show up individually and collectively. The way we show up impacts our capacity to be moved, inspired, and activated.
Get ready to be immersed! Engage with smiles, nods, waves, emojis. Share in the chat. Get cozy. Turn off notifications. Sip your favorite beverage.
Wear your beginner’s hat. Go with the flow. Welcome the stumbles and fumbles. Congratulate yourself for trying. Keep going!
Our hosts are members of the CreativeMornings community—just like you! Everyone comes to this with different backgrounds—a lot of our hosts have never done anything like this before! And we love that! Cheer them on when something goes awry and when it goes perfectly.
We’re all figuring things out in real time. Celebrate, rather than critique emerging ideas. Cheer each other on as you try new things. Try “Yes! And…” in conversation.
It’s 100% okay when a FieldTrip does not resonate with you. Pop out quietly and try another experience later. Fill out the survey with your feedback (no dms to host or chat commentary, please.)
