STAND UP FOR CHANGE®:
TRAINING IN THE REAL WORLD

WHY WE DO IT: Our world is changing fast, and it’s past time to uplift new leaders with fresh perspectives – yet it’s hard to cut through the noise. That’s where comics come in: with just a microphone and point of view, comics speak truth to power, call out harmful institutions (and occasionally a heckler), and use the power of storytelling to unite strangers in laughter and thought. There is no one more uniquely qualified - or needed - to help empower the next generation of leaders to develop their voices and deliver their messages. Our trainings are accessible, effective, and - most importantly - fun.

HOW WE DO IT: By combining public speaking best practices with real-world training from society’s most skilled storytellers, we train emerging leaders to develop their confidence, personal narrative, and public speaking skills. Our training leverages written guides, bite-size video lessons, and live workshops (individual or small groups) with comics. By bringing the content to life with real-world scenarios, our expert comics customize the lessons for each participant to develop their messaging and voice in real time.

Let’s collaborate.
