Storytelling is at the heart of who we are as humans. It is the thing that connects us, compels us, and gives us new perspectives. At Capital Storytelling we train individuals in the art of true personal storytelling to empower individuals to share their own lived experiences.
"The first word that comes to mind when I think of Capital Storytelling?
Life-changing."
- Tamara Spence
Hi, I’m Lisa Cantrell
I'm the executive director of Capital Storytelling. I founded Capital Storytelling after experiencing a change in my own life from hearing others' personal stories. I have a doctorate in psychology and I have worked in radio and print journalism. My heart, however, is in teaching people how to tell their own true stories. I have taught storytelling since 2015 and have trained researchers to present their scientific findings, and worked with activists in how to use storytelling to move societies, and supported health care professionals in personal reflection-- showing people how to harness the power of storytelling to compel, engage, and connect with themselves and with their audiences. I'd love to teach you.
