Calling all Storytellers!
Do you have a story to tell?
We can find truth and understanding through sharing our unique experiences and stories. Unfortunately, many of these stories go untold. Let’s create a new storytelling initiative that challenges us to open up to others and generate lasting, meaningful, personal and social change. Every event raises money for a non-profit.
INFO ABOUT WYS
In 2018, our founder, Robyn Shumer gave a TEDx talk called “What’s Your Story” where she challenged the audience to think about their deepest most profound moments of failure and accomplishment and to get comfortable sharing the stories that shaped who they are. She also launched “What’s Your Story,” a sustainable community storytelling initiative that changes peoples’ lives through creating connections, pathways to healing and raising money for nonprofits.
SPEAKER TRAINING & COACHING
What began as preparation for her own TEDx talk led Robyn to create a “Storytelling 101” workshop. Delivered in-person and remotely, this engaging training equips participants with a “recipe” for how to prepare to tell their personal or business story. After the workshop, on-going speaker coaching is available. Appropriate for high-schoolers and beyond.

On March 7, 2008 my husband and I met our adopted son for the first time with 50 friends and family who accompanied us at Newark Airport. Video a gift from Erin and Carl Klemme @glowyoga.com
Robyn's Story
“Preparing for and delivering a TED talk has been more impactful in my overall well-being and ongoing personal development, than all of the hours of therapy I’ve had.”
Robyn' s Mission
She helps individuals and organizations find the bright spots amidst disorder, leading them to be the best versions of themselves that they can be.
Robyn's goals for you
To teach the world the power of their story. I want people to stand up to stigma and safely share the stories that shaped them. Sharing creates a space for freedom from the past. It creates space for possibilities and it creates connections that are sometimes, life-changing.
