Start telling.**   Have you ever sat in the audience at a StorySLAM and thought, “I have a story like that, but I have no idea how to tell it”? Or maybe you have the idea, but you just don’t know how to make a 20-minute anecdote fit into an emotionally moving, 5-minute StorySLAM winner. Storytelling is a skill, not a secret gift. Whether you’re an aspiring newcomer looking to debut at our next StorySLAM, a professional wanting to have more impact in meetings, or a creator explaining your mission—this 3-hour intensive is the roadmap you've been waiting for.   ### THE 1-2-3 OF A GREAT STORY - **CONTEXT (The Foundation):** Setting the scene so we know where we are and who you were before everything changed. - **STAKES (The Why):** Why does this matter? What was at risk? Stakes are the tension you wind up that makes an audience lean into your story. - **CHANGE (The Transformation):** A story isn’t just a thing that happened; it’s how that thing changed you. We help you find your "Aha!" moment. ## Who is this workshop for? Anyone curious about finding their voice and speaking with more presence and confidence. ### ASPIRING STORYTELLERS Who want to bring a true story to the Zurich Storytellers stage. ### **PROFESSIONALS** who want to communicate their ideas with more impact in meetings, pitches, or talks.   ### CREATORS AND CHANGEMAKERS who want to connect people to their mission through authentic stories. > ## **"There was a good balance between theoretical input and immediate application of said inputs. I loved that we had to get up on stage in the end to get the full experience."** > > **Isabela H.** ## CHF 149 --- Workshop fee inclusive drinks, snacks, materials and video ## 3 hours --- 1/3 insight + 2/3 practice storytelling with local pros and peersA ## 10 spots --- To ensure time for personal coaching and story development ## Unlimited --- Opportunity to upskill and stretch your comfort zone ![5-1](https://zurichstorytellers.ch/hubfs/5-1.png)   ### What will your 3-hour investment deliver? - **20% Insight / 80% Practice:** We don’t just talk; we help you build, iterate and empower you to tell your story. - **Memory Mining:** We’ll help you dig for the "silver and gold" experiences, people and places - and shape them into a moving personal story - **1-on-1 Coaching:** Direct feedback from Maria and Joel to polish your rough edges - plus reactions of fellow attendees. - **The Dress Rehearsal:** The finale is a mini StorySLAM show, drawing names from the hat, participants delivering a newly minted 5-minute story (no notes) on stage—mic in hand, camera rolling. - **The Video: Receive a high-quality video of your performance, perfect for self-review or your personal highlight reel.** [Reserve your spot](https://zurichstorytellers.ch/transform-with-story-workshop-mar-14#register) ## What previous participants say about the workshop     ## Transform with Story: Workshop Programme ![ZST Vibes](https://zurichstorytellers.ch/hubfs/ZST%20Vibes.png "ZST Vibes") ### **10:00 - 11:00 Part 1 - 20% INSIGHT** - Foundations of storytelling - A process for story design - Mining memories for silver and gold ### **11:00 - 12:00 Part 2 - 80% PRACTICE** - First build - drafts with peer participant reviews - 1:1 coaching with Maria and Joel - Final drafts - practice round with fellow participants **12:00 - 12:10 Short drink break**   ### **12:10 - 13:00 Part 3 - STORYSLAM SHOW** - Draw names from the story-sorting hat - Deliver 5-min StorySLAM on stage - Celebrate! our accomplishments **13:00 Wrap up and goodbyes**   [![Zurich Storytellers](https://zurichstorytellers.ch/hubfs/Logo%20Version_%20Coral-1.svg "Zurich Storytellers")](https://zurichstorytellers.ch/?hsLang=en) Zurich Storytellers Association | Jenseits, Im Viadukt, Zurich | Non-profit | zurichstorytellers.ch | info@zurichstorytellers.ch [instagram icon](https://www.instagram.com/zurichstorytellers/) [Follow us on Facebook](https://chat.whatsapp.com/INhiPKqdPcsHnD08OptY16)   **[Events](https://146531606.hs-sites-eu1.com/events-1?hsLang=en)** **[About](https://146531606.hs-sites-eu1.com/about-1?hsLang=en)** **[Watch](https://146531606.hs-sites-eu1.com/watch-1?hsLang=en)** **[Recommended Resources](https://146531606.hs-sites-eu1.com/recommended-resources?hsLang=en)** **[Blog](https://146531606.hs-sites-eu1.com/blog?hsLang=en)** Copyright © 2026, Zurich Storytellers Association
