Find. Craft. Tell. Your Story

A 7+ Hour Storytelling Workshop (in English)
Hamburg · Saturday, April 18, 2026 · 10:00–17:00

Because we all have stories.
And the right story—told well—can change how people see you, and how you see yourself.

An immersive deep dive into real, personal storytelling

This is not a typical workshop.

It’s a full-day, guided experience into true, personal storytelling—raw, focused, and deeply human.

Whether you’ve never told a story before or want to go deeper, you’ll be supported step by step to move beyond your comfort zone—because that’s where clarity, confidence, and real connection begin.

By the end of the day, you will have shaped a meaningful experience from your own life into a compelling 5-minute story that resonates with others.

What you’ll walk away with

  • A clear structure to turn real-life moments into engaging stories

  • More confidence expressing yourself in English

  • A deeper connection to your own experiences and voice

  • A story you can tell—in conversations, at work, or even on stage

What we mean by Find. Craft. Tell.

FIND
Uncover the stories hidden in your everyday life.
Through guided exercises, you’ll discover which moments carry emotional weight—and why.

CRAFT
Shape your story with clarity, structure, and heart.
No performance tricks—just honest, powerful storytelling.

TELL
Practice telling your story out loud in a supportive group.
Receive feedback that helps you grow in confidence and presence.

Become part of a community of story-tellers, -listeners, -believers.

What it feels like

This is a small, intimate workshop (max. 8 participants).

You’ll be guided carefully, with space to explore, reflect, and share—at your own pace.

You’ll laugh. You might get emotional.
And by the end of the day, you’ll likely feel a little tired—and a lot more connected.

Because when the pressure drops, something real can emerge.

Who this is for

This workshop is especially valuable if you:

  • live in Germany and want to express yourself more confidently in English

  • feel like you have something to say, but don’t know how to say it

  • want to connect more deeply with others

  • are curious about storytelling as a tool for personal growth

No experience needed.

  • 90-minute online prep session (week before)

  • 7-hour in-person workshop in Hamburg

  • Guided exercises to unlock and shape your story

  • Multiple practice rounds with feedback

  • Individual coaching

  • A printable storytelling framework

A chance to take the stage (optional)

Going on stage is optional.
Growth isn’t.

💬 What participants say

“I was hesitant at first… but I left feeling more powerful expressing myself.”

“I finally put words to a story I had been carrying for a long time.”

“It helped me dig deeper into moments I thought were ‘too small’—and turn them into real stories.”
