This six-week course teaches you how to turn your expertise into a clear, engaging 10-minute teaching session — and gives you the foundation to expand it into a full workshop or presentation. Using a step-by-step method, you will learn how to choose one strong idea, shape it for a specific audience, explain it clearly, build in a story or example, create a brief interactive moment, and deliver it with confidence. AI will be used throughout as a practical thinking partner: to clarify your topic, organize your material, anticipate audience questions, strengthen your language, and help you rehearse. By the end of the course, you will have a polished 10-minute session you can use to pitch an idea, teach a concept, lead a training, or present your expertise in a professional setting — along with a developed outline designed to grow into a 30- to 60-minute workshop when you're ready.
Registering at least three weeks prior to the course start date is highly recommended. This course may be used to fulfill the requirements of the Certificate in Storytelling. It may be taken to pursue the certificate, or as a standalone course.
