Keynote #1

“Storytelling Camp: Where will You Pitch Your Tent in 2024?”

There are typically two types of storytellers, and knowing which type you are is crucial to understanding your limitations around storytelling. In this address, April helps audiences identify which “camp” do they primarily reside. The goal is to move the audience out of one camp (wherever they are) and into the ultimate place — where storytelling becomes the focus and leads to increased connection, communication, and commerce in their business.

Key Audience Takeaways:

  • Clearly identify which Storytelling “Camp” you are in

  • Realize how hanging out in one camp is limiting your ability to connect deeper with your audience/clients/team and creating a disconnect in your ability to grow as a leader.

  • Action steps to take to move from one camp to another, to make storytelling more of a focus so you can create better connections with your people.

In this address, April skillfully lays out how to overcome the #1 problem for most women leaders – letting parts of their story hold them back from harnessing their true power. April helps you understand the parts of your story worth sharing, and what can remain on the editing room floor. April will teach you how to craft your story using her signature Story Arc Framework. Using this approach to storytelling, you learn how to stop letting some stories have power over you, and instead harness the power of your story to show up more fully in life!

Key Audience Takeaways:

  • Identify the stories that are currently holding you back (creating a dis-empowered state)
  • How to utilize a simple storytelling framework to craft your own empowered story, and use it as a guide to uplevel your position in life and start asking for what you deserve!
  • Walk away feeling empowered by their story, emitting a renewed sense of worth and value to spark change in their life, and create a ripple effect for others.
