About this event

Storytelling 101

Communication & Digital Capabilities

In-Person Workshop: Henry F. Hall Building, SSC Workshop Room – H-771


What makes a good story? How can you use storytelling to have an impact on your communications? Storytelling is a skill you can practice and bring to networking events, job interviews, or time spent sharing personal stories among friends.

In this workshop you will learn what makes a good story, how to tell more compelling stories, and get tips that can help move ideas and anecdotes into stories that influence and inspire. You will have the opportunity to practice in a supportive, safe, and fun atmosphere and receive immediate feedback. Family events, public speaking opportunities, job interviews, presentations – all are opportunities to use stories to convey ideas. What is your story

Facilitator: Johanne Pelletier, Director, Public Engagement – and Storytelling Expert

What should I expect?

FutureBound is free, interactive, and offers flexibility for your schedule. You can attend workshops at your own pace or complete a certificate in one semester. Expect 15-50 students in a super safe, welcoming environment that fosters connection between students from different disciplines.

Who are the facilitators?

FutureBound works with expert facilitators across industries to bring you diverse & experienced perspectives. Facilitators are private industry professionals, entrepreneurs & coaches, university employees, or academic professors. All facilitators share an interest in your skill development!

Are workshops offered online or in-person?

FutureBound workshops are a mix of online and in-person offerings. The location (either a classroom or zoom link) will be noted on the Eventbrite page and sent to you via email. We do not record any of our workshops, but we do send follow-up resources to students who attend.

How does the certification work? When will I get it?

By completing 4 workshops per core skill module, you earn a module certificate. Certificates can be showcased on your LinkedIn, your CV, or your Concordia Co-Curricular Record. PDF certificates are sent via email to eligible students at the end of each academic semester - no need to apply.

Is there any form of assessment?

We ask you to submit a reflection form after each workshop and if you complete a core skill module so that you reflect on the impact of your experiences and confidently articulate your skills to various audiences. This is an essential task to earn a certificate and helps us continue to improve!
