FAQs

How do I know if this course is right for me?

If you are someone who feels called to write a book that will unlock your ability to be of greater service in the world but who does not know the steps to take, particularly when staring at a blank screen, then this course might be exactly what you’ve been searching for. We will guide you through a process of learning to tell your story in a way that others fall deeply in love with what you stand for and then conspire in your favor as you step into what comes next.

Will I have written a book by the end of this course?

You will NOT leave this course with a complete manuscript. This course was designed to reveal the book you were born to write and to help you capture both the 15-minute (4,000-word) version of that story (both a complete story unto itself AND an exceptionally detailed outline for your book), and to help you unearth dozens and dozens of additional pages of content that can be woven into your chapter writing. Essentially, you will leave the course with the vision for your book, the blueprint for what you intend to build, and the authentic voice of the book that reflects who you are.

What if I’m concerned that my story isn’t worth sharing?

It is human to wonder if our story is impactful, or if others will care. I promise you that in my two decades of helping others to tell their stories, I have yet to meet a single person whose story wasn’t brilliant and beautiful (and those who worry that their story isn’t as profound as others are often the ones who bring us to our knees!). Your story is waiting to be uncovered in a way that will allow you to see yourself anew, to feel more whole, and to become more powerful in your life.

Is this a virtual or in-person course?

Our course is entirely virtual, though you will find that our Zoom calls are intimate and replenishing—not draining as some can be!

If I want to move faster, will the platform allow me to do so?

The course is set up so that the entire class progresses together and nobody can move too far ahead. We find that shared epiphanies are often longer-lasting and more deeply experienced. As each week of content is released, you can move through that content as slowly or quickly as you would like, as long as you complete the work before the next group session.

What are live group discussions? Are they mandatory to attend?

Live group discussions are a chance for you and your peers to come together in real time, to practice vulnerability, to share versions of your story you haven’t shared before, and to deeply listen to one another as beautifully flawed and victorious human beings. These experiences are facilitated by one of your instructors who will lovingly guide you and your peers to see one another—and yourself—in a new light. This is why we encourage you to attend as many live groups discussion as you can. Heroes aren’t born into this world—heroes are made; in part, by the circumstances of life that challenge and refine us, but also by the impact others impress upon our hearts. It is important that during the live group discussion, you respect and honor each person present, with the expectation that any one of us can forever change the way we view ourselves—in a more positive, truthful, loving, and awe-inspiring way. We approach our would-be authors this way, and they in turn carry that forward to their readers.

When sharing my story, how do I determine which of the more vulnerable parts of my life are okay to share with others?

The course invites vulnerability into how you express yourself, both in your identity as a hero and in the choices you make while navigating your life experiences. All this to say: only you can determine how vulnerable you wish to be. Part of being a heroic author and thought leader is in being the first to be brave, in taking a leap of faith that exposes the heart and soul of who you are and who you are called to be. The more authentic you can be in telling your story, the more impactful you will be to your readers. Vulnerability has all kinds of positive impacts, including self-transformation, healing past trauma, discovering your gifts, and shining a light on others in a profound way, inviting them to be vulnerable, too. If you are feeling TOO MUCH discomfort in sharing something that is vulnerable, you have the freedom to omit that portion from your story. Remember, you are the hero in this course. You get to choose how to shape your story into the most authentic version of who you are.

Is the course fee refundable?

Registration for a class is nonrefundable. However, we know that sometimes circumstances arise. If you need to drop out of a class you have registered for, we can shift you to a different class group of this or another Round Table Storytelling course at a similar price with dates that work better for your schedule. Cancellation must be made no later than two weeks after the kick-off date and reregistration must be to a session that begins within a year of cancellation. Repetition of specific classes is not guaranteed. To cancel, please reach out to your instructor.
