Executive Club of Champaign County
Weaving Your Strongest Thread: A Connective Storytelling Workshop to Clarify and Speak Your Career Value
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1, 2026 | 4:30 PM - 6:00 PM
Location: The CU Flower House
Join Published Author Heidi Esther for an interactive and energizing storytelling workshop. You will play games, experience empowering guided reflection, and learn to share meaningful stories with confidence and clarity.
Why does storytelling matter? Stories are remembered 12–13 times more than facts alone, and that is exactly why the stories we tell — to ourselves and to the world — are critical.
Participants will explore authentic storytelling, build human connections, and enjoy snacks in a pressure-free collaborative environment. Weaving in adult learning principles, this workshop builds executive-level reflection and storytelling skills. Everyone will leave with a message they can use to communicate who they are, what they value, and why their work matters.
