Boot Camp brings together the best of all the different classes we teach. We put you through the ringer during our time together! In a small class setting, we’ll focus on workshopping the practical skills you need to succeed. We’ll bring in a range of experts, and focus on new skills and techniques that will put you ahead of the rest, from Day 1.

Storytelling Workshop

Storytelling is everything. It's the art and skill of knowing how to deliver material in a way that makes a place come alive. Knowing how to begin, where to go, and when to end. Our methods are our pride and joy, and we share them with you on our trainings to put you above the rest.

Delivery Technique Practice

We will learn to use our body to make money! That's right - the way you deliver a story is just as important as the content you deliver. We will learn to use body language and tone to maximize our storytelling abilities. There will be detailed instructions and assignments to master this technique!
