Stories that Connect: Building Empathy Through Personal Narrative
In this 90-minute interactive experience, Leilani guides participants through the process of writing and sharing their personal stories. The result? Deeper trust, increased empathy, and real connection between colleagues who usually only talk in metrics. Ideal for leadership retreats, ERG activations, or culture-building experiences, this workshop makes space for brave reflection and meaningful dialogue—and leaves teams more human than they were before.
This is more than a workshop—it’s a reset.
No charge, no honorarium, no mileage costs. This guest speaker is free to groups in Chicago!
