Through a structured series of exercises, combining the disciplines of the Roy Hart Theatre voice, body, and imagination work, this workshop with Ivan Midderigh and Siobhán McCann will draw out the individual’s inherent communication skills and serve as an introduction to the art of Signature Storytelling. Participants will embark on a ‘River of Life’ journey to explore their personal experience, uncover their origin stories, and embody them, in order to tell them with presence and vocal confidence. The mornings will be focused on voice and body work and the afternoons on stories and the art of storytelling.
The concept of authenticity derives from the ancient Greek philosophy γνῶθι σεαυτόν: "know thyself." So we understand that authentic leadership is born from the commitment to the lifelong practice of self-reflection in pursuit of self-awareness. Through familiarity with their own life stories authentic leaders develop the capacity to make values-based decisions with confidence. They continually develop their emotional intelligence in service of more human workplaces. - Siobhán McCann
Engaging the vehicle of the voice and through the medium of storytelling we guide people to uncover and connect with their core life experiences, values, and belief systems in order to embody their full performance potential for maximal impact, wellness, fulfillment, and success.
Our Power of Story program is designed with humans in mind, to uncover and give expression and voice to the life experiences that have contributed to the beliefs and values they embody as leaders in the world, in order to engage with, motivate, and inspire the people they lead to live into whatever they dream for them.
The workshop will be taught in English with translation into French if needed.*
“From the beginning of history, human life and leadership have been centered on stories—the stories of our past, who we are today, and what we may yet become. Telling stories and listening to other people’s stories shapes the meaning of our experiences and helps us awaken hidden capacity.”

“Leaders are capable of deep listening: Gandhi demonstrated that when he traveled throughout India learning the heart of his people. What distinguishes leaders... is that they find a voice that allows them to articulate the common dream.”
