We truly believe that being vulnerable, honest, and open makes us connect and unite as a community. Personal storytelling is an effective tool to help us achieve that. Come to this inaugural storytelling showcase event to hear stories that have not been shared anywhere else and be inspired!
_______________________________________
Are you excited to hear authentic and personal stories? This storytelling showcase is highlighting some of the rising storytellers. They will be getting vulnerable and telling personal stories that they have not shared anywhere else.
We all were excited for 2020, a new decade for creating new opportunities but then COVID-19 hit. So during this challenging time, we need to inspire each other every single day. How? By candidly sharing our unique stories. By being honest and open, we can connect and unite as one community.
But there are two problems:
- First, we focus too much on working and running our businesses. That sadly makes us not OPEN up to show who we really are. Being authentic, honest, and vulnerable are what we need!
- Second, there is no SPACE for storytellers to practice telling their stories. You may dream of doing a TEDx Talk in the future but there is no stage to practice.
This is why we’re organizing this storytelling showcase event. Get excited to hear authentic and personal stories. Theme: Vulnerability.
You will be listening to raw and real stories. And maybe you will be inspired enough to share your own story one today and/or connect with the storytellers’ stories & decide to do something differently in your life. This storytelling showcase is highlighting some of the rising storytellers. They will be getting vulnerable and telling stories that they have not shared anywhere else. Each storyteller will tell a 8 min story.

2. Will Small is a refreshing and thoughtful Australian voice; poetically fusing together influences in philosophy, literature, and hip-hop, to communicate in a unique and powerful way.

Matthew Lancaster is a proud Palawa man, a Tasmanian Aboriginal with cultural ties to Bunurong People, who has served his Community & Country as a Queensland Police Officer and a Combat Systems Operator in the Royal Australian Navy.
