Telling the Truth: A Storytelling Workshop with Brian Perry

Are you telling your authentic story? A story that connects you with your ideal clients? If you're feeling blocked or stuck in some way, this workshop with Brian Perry can help you find the confidence to claim your story, and the words to share your story.

Here's Brian's description on how attending this workshop will help you harness your unique voice, and uncover your unique you-ness through storytelling.

“Tell the truth. Tell the truth. Tell the truth.” - Sheryl Louis Moller

Move beyond outlines, structures, and formulas to birth the story that wants to be told NOW. Learn to tune into the aliveness and to follow it to the story that wants to be told, that needs to be told. 

The people you most long to serve at the depth you long to serve them, first need to feel seen and understood. Stories are the shortest distance between here and there. Because stories unlock, reveal, and connect us. And, poetically enough, the stories that feel most challenging to share turn out to be the most universal. Go figure.

Great speaking isn’t about performance, it’s about presence. In this transformative workshop, I invite you to uncover the stories at the heart of your message and so you can share it with courage and authenticity.

Together we’ll explore:

        • How to listen more deeply — to yourself, your stories, and the emotional undercurrents that make them powerful.
        • Why the best stories feel like an act of bravery — and how to find the one that needs telling.
        • The art of showing, not telling — using vivid details to bring your audience into the moment.
        • The balance between structure and spontaneity — knowing when to follow the rules and when to break them.
        • How to recognize the truth that will set you free — the story that demands to be told.

    If you want to speak with more soul, courage, and connection, this workshop will help you step into your story and share it in a way that moves and transforms both you and your audience.

    As a singer-songwriter, authentic communication coach, and speaker, I work with people drawn to a calling. They’re creative, service-oriented, and purpose-driven people who have a message and a mission — but are feeling blocked or stuck in some way. I help you find the words and confidence to claim, share, and LIVE your story.

    There's no charge for this workshop.

    About Our Speaker

    With decades of experience, Brian Perry serves as an authentic communication coach, singer-songwriter, and speaker. Stories are the through-line of it all, helping you live more of your once-in-any-lifetime story. Because living your story matters.

    At the heart of each of his vocations is Brian’s passion for helping people get out of their own way and into their own way. Helping people live their most empowered and joyful experience of their life. And to amplify their impact along the way. Brian leans on each of his crafts to offer a path forward with poetic clarity, humor, and pragmatism.

    His most recent book is “The Myth Of Certainty…And Other Great News” and his most recent album is “Yes, And.” Both are available in all the usual places. Brian is based in the Atlanta area — but proudly by way of New Orleans.
