Behind every unforgettable talk is an imaginative mess — notebooks full of half-formed ideas, abandoned outlines, and flashes of inspiration scribbled on napkins.
In this interactive writing workshop, you’ll learn how to use the Imaginative Storm method to transform that messy imaginative chaos into talks that stick.
Through guided prompts, intuitive lists, and creative pairings like impatience + strategy, you’ll generate energetic material and surprising insights worth developing and sharing.
You'll learn what makes an idea “sticky”: it’s useful, easy to copy, and lands where it matters.
You’ll learn how to harness your rational mind just enough to shape those insights into a story with emotional weight and clarity — one your audience won’t forget.
This is a workshop for anyone with something to say—TEDx hopefuls, entrepreneurs, teachers, authors, and everyday storytellers. Whether you’re crafting a keynote or writing a eulogy, you’ll leave with pages of material, a clearer sense of your message, and the confidence to share it with clarity, charisma, and heart. Even if TEDx isn’t your goal, the tools you gain will serve you wherever your voice needs to be heard.
Whether you already have a topic, are sketching a narrative arc, or still wonder if you even have a speech in you, this session will propel you forward. You’ll leave with pages of fresh writing, a sharper sense of your big idea, and a new confidence that your message is worth sharing — on a TEDx stage or anywhere you speak.
