Hooked: How to Tell a Story People Actually Want to Hear
Everyone has a story—and the ability to tell it well is one of the most valuable skills you can develop, both personally and professionally.
Join bestselling author and speaker Wendy Newman for an inspiring presentation on the power of storytelling. Best known for her book, 121 First Dates: How to Succeed at Online Dating, Fall in Love, and Live Happily Ever After (Really!), Wendy transformed a collection of deeply personal experiences into a nationally recognized book that resonated with readers because of its honesty, humor, and authenticity.
In this presentation, Wendy shares those same real techniques behind stories that captivate, connect, and leave a lasting impression. Drawing from her experiences as an entrepreneur, author, and speaker, she'll explore how storytelling can strengthen communication, deepen relationships, and help us connect more meaningfully in every aspect of life.
Whether you're presenting in the boardroom, introducing yourself at a networking event, leading a conversation, or simply hoping to become a more confident communicator, this interactive session will leave you with practical tools and a fresh perspective on the stories only you can tell.
