A month from today, I am stepping way, way, way out of my comfort zone to host a Worldwide Story Work Teleseminar (Wed., Sept. 9, 4 pm EDST), entitled: The Golden Age of Storytelling: Why Is Story Exploding? What Does It Means for Practitioners?
Why out of my comfort zone? I am phobic about the phone. It has been only a little more than a year that I’ve grown comfortable attending
teleseminars and webinars — and I don’t even have to talk at those.
But I felt hosting the Sept. 9 teleseminar would be a good growth opportunity. Lest you be put off attending by my being out of my comfort zone, I am putting so much preparation into it that I am reasonably confident I will present well.
I don’t want to portray myself as an expert on the teleseminar’s topic but rather a facilitator of a discussion about it. (Actually, I really like Terrence Gargiulo’s characterization of me as a curator of material about storytelling.)
One of the things I’m doing to prepare is making a handout available for the teleseminar — to kind of grease the wheels, get the thoughts flowing. It would be helpful for attendees to have downloaded and read this PDF handout: Sept9TelesemWWSWGoldenAgeHansen.pdf.
Another option is to read this page (same content as handout) before the teleseminar or have it in front of you during the event.
You can register for the teleseminar here (you may need to become a member of Worldwide Story Work to register); however, I don’t believe registration is required, and you can simply call this number on Sept. 9, 4 pm EDST: 1-218-936-4700 — Access Code 710691
