A FEW Testimonials:
“Today I took a phenomenal workshop with Story Jam. They were highly professional while facilitating a fun, structured, and even cathartic afternoon. It was a great chance to deepen my understanding of story telling and practice in a low-pressure, supportive environment. I would definitely recommend the workshop for anyone looking to enhance their public speaking skills or to just have a fun and insightful afternoon. ”
““Thanks so much for facilitating such an awesome Story Jam session!! The group absorbed your instruction and they were able to craft and create their own individual story! Truly amazing!! Thank you for hosting such an amazing session!”

“Stephanie!! I’m yelling with excitement. That was such an amazing session today! I learned something about each of my direct reports. And who knew they were such great storytellers!” ”
“Stephanie Rogers, the “quadruple threat” actor, writer, musician and producer behind Story Jam, ran an “Acting for Writers” seminar this past weekend that was, at risk of hyperbole, outstanding. She was thoughtful and smart, engendering an informal and inclusive vibe that simply “worked.” The “safe space” sensibility she established helped bring out the best in writers looking to improve their acting chops, and allowed for the open exchange of accolade and criticism necessary to drive progress. She scheduled four hours, but we stayed for five, and Stephanie’s energy and commitment to making progress never wavered. I recommend her most highly and without reservation.”
“Stephanie Rogers is a DYNAMO talent.
Easy to work with. Great feedback. Awesome experience.
Story Jam ROCKS.”
“Stephanie is amazing - a natural teacher and coach. She taught us about art of story telling, brainstormed ideas for stories, helped with editing, delivery, timing and getting more comfortable performing. The environment is extremely supportive! I highly recommend taking a class or a workshop with Stephanie!”
“Stephanie is so vivacious! She really helped get the ball rolling in terms of helping us find content for our own stories...She had great prompts. She had interesting things to say about everyone’s stories. I loved the workshop and had a great time.”
““Steph Rogers has a deep reservoir of knowledge and experience about the craft of storytelling and developing our individual work.
She has a discerning eye for helping us develop our stories
and she does it in a very empathic and reaffirming way.” ”
