Storytelling with Teenagers
“We recently had the pleasure of welcoming Alyssa for International Read to Me Day to facilitate a storytelling workshop and encourage the young people to get excited about the art of storytelling and literature. Alyssa’s extensive teaching experience was evident as she managed to maintain the engagement of the young people throughout the entire workshop. The storytelling ignited their imagination and provoked very thoughtful and meaningful discussions during and after the session. We even had some aspiring writers who got some expert tips and tricks. Highly recommended and look forward to our next workshop!” - H.C. (Youth Worker)

Corporate
“Alyssa provided two exceptional workshops for Mid West Ports in November 2023. The first was conducted as an hour-long “lunch and learn” for our staff, giving them insight and the tools to improve their delivery and engagement through storytelling in a corporate setting. The second workshop was focused on our volunteers and conducted as a 3-hour morning session, equipping the group with tangible storytelling skills that they can use in their volunteering roles. On both occasions, Alyssa appropriately tailored her workshops to the target audience which ensured maximum benefit was received by participants. Many thanks Alyssa.” - VW
