Story: The True Power of Persuasion with Kim Weitkamp
Manage episode 395922425 series 3455010
Kim Weitkamp grew up in Amish Country as the middle child of exhausted parents. Labeled by teachers as high-spirited and too talkative, Kim took those comments and channeled them into a lifetime of high-energy, heartfelt and hilarious artistry and we are better for it!!
She is an award-winning storyteller, speaker, singer-songwriter and humorist. After using applied storytelling in her work with adjudicated and at-risk youth for 12 years, Kim took a turn onto a different avenue that led her down the path of full-time touring for the last 17 years where she gathered an armload of awards.
She has advised and coached companies nationwide to access story as a tool for connection and understanding.
We sat down in early November to talk about how she became a storyteller, her innovative program “The Science of Story” and how story can be used to enlighten and persuade folks for the Good.
