You have a story to tell. We are writers, so chances are we have written that story (or more) and shared it in books, articles, or social posts. We may feel called to communicate with our audience beyond the page by offering presentations or retreats. This workshop discusses: discerning whether you are called to move into the speaker circuit, what skills make an engaging speaker, and how to get started, make connections, or find opportunities.
