ABOUT

YOUR LIFE INTO STORY


Find It, Craft It, Tell It - A Guided Online Storytelling Course


Have you ever felt the pull to tell your story but weren’t sure where to begin?

Whether for impact, connection, or healing, storytelling can change how you see yourself — and how others see you.


This is your invitation to step into the ancient art of oral storytelling! Over six weeks online, you’ll uncover a story from your life, shape it with guidance and feedback, and learn how to tell it publicly with more clarity, confidence, and heart.


Each session will focus on learning skills from the storyteller’s toolkit. Through practice, live coaching, and group sharing, you’ll grow week by week. In the seventh week, you’ll have the chance to share your story in a celebratory final event. You don’t need to know what story you’ll tell when you sign up - discovering it is part of the journey.

ABOUT LISA

Lisa Pantani is a storyteller, storytelling coach and therapeutic facilitator who has spent almost two decades helping people uncover and share their stories with confidence and heart. She has worked with NGOs, leaders, communities, and individuals across Southern Africa and beyond, guiding them to find their stories - and to tell them in ways that inspire, connect, entertain, and heal. Lisa’s work is rooted in the belief that stories move us, mend us, and remind us of who we are and what we share. Her approach draws on professional training in clinical and depth psychology, education, speech and drama, and family constellations, combined with an immense love for people’s stories and the transformation we undergo when we shape and share them.


"I loved the way the process was held and facilitated. There was a real attention to what each of us were needing and what the process was needing and balancing that so not pushing towards product without bringing people in fully and really attending to different people’s needs and questions. It was also fun and embodied. At first, I doubted whether I even had a story worth telling, but when I found it, the experience was powerful. Standing up and sharing felt different from any speech I’ve given before. It was more authentic, more alive. I left feeling proud, connected, and excited."

NGO Director


“I have always been good at speaking from my heart, but when asked to talk for 20 minutes at Scandinavia's biggest service design conference, I felt frozen with self doubt and uncertainty. Lisa, not only helped me to structure the content and flow of my words, rhythm, breath and tone, she also helped me to dig deep and bring forward my authentic voice, my story. She gave me the gift of articulating my story from a place of truth and passion. She coached me to listen to myself, pick up on the parts of myself that were not coming across as genuine, and enabled me to refine and polish my message until the true diamond emerged and could be gifted to my audience. I wholeheartedly recommend Lisa. She has a way of taking an ordinary message and transforming it into an act of wonder. Of taking everyday content and making it purposeful and meaningful. The services she offers are genuine and valuable. '

Experience Designer


"Working through my birth story with Lisa gave me the opportunity to see it with fresh eyes. It came out in a way I didn’t expect, and I carry that poignancy with me every day. I often retell it to my daughter, especially on her birthday and now in preparation for the birth of her sister. Working with Lisa was like birthing the story, giving it a life and value of its own, from which I draw strength and inspiration."
