The Power of Story with Eleanor
When we deny our stories, they define us. When we own our stories, we get to write a brave new ending.
If there's a part of you that has been holding onto a story quietly - waiting for the right moment to write it, speak it, or even start to name it — this workshop is for you.
Hi, I'm Eleanor!
I invite you to a 90-minute in-person writing workshop: The Power of Story — a space where you can be yourself, write freely, connect with others... and discover your voice.
This workshop is for you if:
You're craving deeper creativity but feel stuck in your head.
You're holding onto a story that deserves to be told more honestly.
You want to write with others in a space that feels brave and authentic.
I'm a California lawyer, emerita professor, and consultant with over a decade of experience teaching business and communication skills. Key themes in my work include migration, dislocation, and globalization. I offer online courses in cultural proficiency and professional development. My passion is helping writers of all skill levels in advocating for themselves and others.
