YOUR Big Story!

Our storytelling foundations program, YOUR Big Story! was designed to help you uncover the power of impactful storytelling in your life, business, and career.

 
 
 
 

Have you ever wanted to share an idea, a perspective or a business with the world, but didn’t know how to say it or where to start?

Do you struggle to get that presentation or speech just right or infuse your personal experiences into the story of your business? Do you worry that what you have to say isn’t relevant?

 
 
 

What if you could feel confident and empowered to tell your story with impact every time and create real change in your life?

At R&Co, we’ve been storytellers all our lives. It comes easily to us. But working with our clients over the years helped us realize that’s not the experience for everyone. A lot of folks have decided they’re just not creative or just don’t have the words which means they can’t be storytellers, but that’s just not true.
 
We created this storytelling foundations program to share the fundamentals of impactful storytelling and guide you through understanding, crafting and sharing your own big, beautiful stories. It’s designed to help you share YOUR big story with impact

 
 
 
 

How Does It Work?

We collaborated with a learning design expert to tailor the four-week program to the needs of busy but passionate Creative Independents. Training videos are released weekly on Monday and sent directly to your inbox with links to download worksheets and frameworks you can get started learning right away. Then every Sunday, after you’ve had the week to do the worksheets, we hop on a one-hour live Q&A call where you can get feedback and answers to questions that came up for you that week.


We’ve created a course that ensures that we are in it together and you get to the end feeling confident and capable of telling your unique story in all areas of your life. All of the training is online and accessible through the Storytelling University student portal. 


We’ve thoughtfully crafted a program meant to help you leverage the power of storytelling to connect with and inspire new audiences. Access foundational tools, frameworks and work directly with our founder to bring your story to life, and infuse practical magic into life, career, or business.

Tools & Skills for a Lifetime

That depends… Are you:

  • A passionate human with a story or idea you want to share with the world?

  • Someone who wants to become a better communicator, leader, presenter, interviewee, salesperson, marketer, teacher, activist, or creator?

  • A creative or founder who runs a small/medium sized business or are looking to launch one?

  • A busy professional who has struggled to stand out to your peers or clients?

  • Someone with a side hustle you want to bring to life or a career change you want to make but have been putting off?

  • Curious about storytelling but don’t know the role it can play in your life and  haven’t figured out how to go about leveraging it? 

  • Open to learning and naturally curious about the world beyond your own understanding or experience? AKA do you have a growth mindset?

  • Feeling stuck or uncertain about the next step in your life, career, or business?

  • Looking for a change or new perspective or just seeking inspiration? Not quite in a place to hire a coach or consultant but ready to make a change and just not sure where to start?

 
 

If you said yes to any of these then you should join us!
