to his/her chosen type of audience (children, adults, etc), and leads
discussions with her listeners about the stories and the ways they were
told. 2) The
Trainee plans a Storytelling Workshop (one or more sessions), with assistance
from Dr Eric. The Trainee then conducts
at least one session of this Workshop with the Trainee's chosen type of
students. 3) The
Trainee writes a few pages about each of these experiences, and discusses
these thoughts with Dr Eric. The
coaching process with Dr Eric occurs along the way via phone,
videoconference, email, etc, and/or in-person (at the WSI's space in
Alwarpet). The
process occurs over approx two months. The fee
