Great storytelling is knowing what to pack IN to your story, and what to pack OUT. Story trainer Dyane Neiman.

FIND
Uncover the real story behind your memories. Through guided exercises, you’ll discover which moments carry emotional weight and why.

CRAFT
Learn how to shape your story with clear structure, tension, and heart. We focus on simplicity, honesty, and impact, not performance tricks.

TELL
Practice telling your story out loud, in a supportive space, with feedback that helps you grow in confidence and clarity.



What’s included

  • A 60-minute online prep session the week before the workshop on Thursday, March 4th at 19 hr.

  • A 12-hour, in-person storytelling intensive in Berlin

  • Guided exercises to unlock memories and shape your narrative

  • Multiple rounds of practice and peer feedback

  • Personalized coaching from an experienced story coach

  • A printable handout you can reuse for future stories

You’ll laugh, you might cry, and by the end of the day you’ll feel gloriously spent, in the best possible way.

Because when we’re that tired, the armour falls away… and what’s left is honest, brave, and beautifully human.

Everyone Has a Story to Tell

Strange neighbors.
Funny uncles.
Short-lived romances.
Life-changing mistakes.
Moments you’ve never talked about out loud.

Even the most ordinary lives contain stories that can move a room to laughter or tears. This workshop helps you find those stories, and tell them in a way that truly connects.
