I live by the motto: tell your story before someone else tells it for you. Your life experiences—triumphs, challenges, everyday moments—contain wisdom that can transform how you connect, lead, and grow. Yet too many of us silence these stories.

In my life, personal storytelling became my secret weapon—telling my stories helped me motivate 300K youth toward social change when I worked in non-profit, closing $6.5M in media sales when I worked in the industry, and building my behavior change and storytelling company, The New Quo for the past 7 years, and my storytelling event series Change My Mind.

In this engaging and interactive workshop (with humor sprinkled in!), made for anyone of any background, you'll learn to harness the storyteller within through my "Tell It Proud" framework trusted by 20,000+ professionals. You'll discover how personal narratives can help you:

• Build unshakable trust in your relationships and create more meaningful connection

• Guide you to make value-aligned decisions in your day to day life and goals

• Amplify your influence and inspire action toward the ideas you care about

• Create daily joy through connecting to and sharing your values and stories with others

You'll leave with a clearer understanding of your values and personal purpose, practical frameworks for uncovering and communicating your lived wisdom (including some writing exercises and discussions done live in the workshop), renewed confidence, and meaningful connections with fellow participants.

In a world of distrust and anxiety, personal storytelling is the ultimate tool for change, growth, and wellbeing. Hope to see you there! You'll receive an email with the zoom link and login details closer to the date.

WHAT PAST CLIENTS OF THE NEW QUO SAY ABOUT THE APPROACH

"Christina led me through exercises that not only helped me process and create a finished product, but also helped me uncover elements of my stories and memories I hadn't thought about for years. It was incredible! This whole playful, light-hearted side of me from childhood that I'd forgotten about came rushing back and made its way into my writing. It was such a deepening of the story, of my voice as a writer, and of my confidence in the importance of sharing. I am immensely grateful to Christina and in awe of the deep, subtle, and powerful work she does. I recommend her to the moon and back." — Elissa, Entrepreneur

"From the way Christina blended storytelling with hard data and research, open discussion on challenging areas with humour and humility, to the balance of both challenging and supporting the room on these issues, it just worked beautifully. I can't recommend Christina enough. Really, really impressive and really down to earth and fun along the way. Thank you!" Perry, non-profit ceo
