About This Workshop

What if we could craft a TED talk that tells our professional story to prospective employers or audiences? What would we say? How would we say it? How can we take that story further and make it scale to online audiences everywhere? This 60-minute workshop breaks down the template, tools and text prompts that can help us reclaim our narrative.
