The ultimate illness faced by humanity is loneliness.  We need to know that we matter to the world and that our lives and experiences have had value. This workshop is packed not only with scientific evidence of the healing power of stories, but also with actual experiences in which the process of sharing has had life- or death-changing impact.

Those who would benefit from this information are (actually, everyone, but especially):

• Hospice organizations

• Historians

• Media

• Medical professionals

• Clergy

• Salespeople

• Managers

• Human Resource Directors

• Those who work with youth

• Those who work with elderly

Participants will learn how to:

• Listen actively to another
• Encourage others to open up
• Empower themselves and others to share stories
• Handle painful or angry reactions
• Respect and honor the stories that are shared
• Retain confidentiality
• Celebrate diversity

Seminar length can be one to three hours.  As always workshops and speeches are custom-designed to fit the needs of your organization and the individuals who attend.
