Workshops and Coaching
Storytelling is one of the most powerful ways we connect, teach, and inspire—and it’s a skill anyone can strengthen with the right guidance. As a featured storyteller at the National Storytelling Festival and festivals across the country, and with a background teaching from K–12 through the college level, Mo brings both professional performance experience and deep educational insight to this work. These quarterly workshops are designed to build your skills step by step, while still offering practical, stand-alone value—so whether you join for one session or the full series, you’ll leave with tools you can use immediately to engage, connect, and communicate more effectively, whether that is in the classroom, living room, or stage.
Mo Reynolds has been an unbelievable support to me, first inspiring me through her storytelling and second, coaching me in my work as a presenter and trainer. In our individual sessions, Mo listens carefully, thoroughly understands my professional goals, reinforces my strengths, and suggests techniques to significantly improve my storytelling in my presentations.
Mo is also an expert at understanding how to connect with the audience, and has advised me in ways that have increased my skill in that area as well. As a professional educator and speaker myself, it is so beneficial to work with someone who possesses such expertise and patience. Not only has she helped me tremendously with my craft, she is kind, fun, personally grounded herself, and a complete joy to be around.
