Share Your Story

Maybe you participated in one of our professional development programs five years ago. A week ago. Yesterday. No matter when you participated, we want to know your story. What insights/lessons have stuck with you? How have you applied them?

We would love to share your story with our diverse professional development community (via our website, social media, and/or email list).

Thank you for sharing your story!

Storytelling Tips

Use descriptive details (vivid colors, smells, physical sensations)
Sharing a brief insightful moment can be more powerful than a general summary
Keep it short

In case of unstable internet connections, you may want to write out your responses in a separate document and paste them into this form when you’re ready. That way you won’t lose anything if your connection gets interrupted.

If you want to share your story with our staff but not with the wide world, please let us know in the comments section.
