Story to Stage
Storytelling has become the skill du-jour, although it seems speakers tend not to agree on the exact definition of storytelling. In this program, Trevor will first review the basics of storytelling. He’ll then introduce his Storycrafting framework to guide speakers to build compelling sessions to ensure effective communication and a connection with audiences.
Stagecraft is a skill that all speakers can regularly revisit and polish. Trevor offers some unexpected tips on how to prepare and deliver sessions under any circumstances.
Our Storywriting break will be used to outline a short story, then fill in the content as time permits. NSA Oregon chapter members can bring a prepared story, preferably shorter than 5 minutes, to work on during Storywriting.
After Storywriting, some members will present their story to the audience, and constructive critique will be offered. Prepare to learn from everyone’s contributions to level up and evolve your own speaking sessions.
Join us for:

In-person Family Picnic, August 13, 2023
Join us for our “Grow the Pie” Members Picnic at Beyer Lake between Molalla and Silverton. Bring your family and enjoy the beautiful surroundings, including kayaks, paddle boards, swimming, softball, and a picnic area.
This event is a potluck, so please bring a dish or pie to share with fellow Members. You’ll also have the opportunity to hear from NSA Oregon Members who attended NSA’S INFLUENCE and will be sharing their favorite takeaways from incredible speakers in our organization.
Robert Cavett, the founder of National Speakers Association, popularized the philosophy of “grow the pie” within NSA Membership. The idea behind “grow the pie” is that rather than competing for a small slice of the pie, speakers should work together to expand the entire pie, benefiting everyone in the industry. By sharing knowledge, resources, and opportunities, speakers can grow the market and create more opportunities for everyone.
This philosophy has become a central pillar of NSA’s values, and events like the “Grow the Pie” Members Picnic aim to bring us together to collaborate, learn, and expand the industry as a whole.
Don’t miss the chance to connect with fellow Members, enjoy the outdoors, and “grow the pie” together. We can’t wait to see you there!
