Carol's "Circle of Excellence" Workshop in Springdale, Utah is where Storytellers gathered during the first week-end of May. The Spring, 2007 issue of the Taleswapper featured a description of the workshop experienced by Olympus Chapter members of the Utah Story Telling Guild on January 10th. Three of us had the immediate opportunity to use our "Circles of Excellence" at the Farmington Annual Storytelling Festival sponsored by the Farmington Arts Council. Those who attended Carol's workshop at the Zion's Storytelling Festival in Springdale, Utah had amazing things to say! Many of their comments will appear on this site soon. Check the [Applause] button. Consider scheduling this workshop for your storytelling event or any other event where participants strive for excellence in their chosen profession, avocation, or passionate hobby! In the meantime start "daydreaming" about models and mentors (elegant persons) you would invite into your own circle of excellence to support you in your pursuit of storytelling excellence or any other state of excellence.

What else is "new?" Toastmasters! Toastmasters International. Carol has joined the Metro Club which meets on Wednesdays at 6:15 at the wonderful Salt Lake City Library just a few steps from the UTA TRAX station! Let's find out how this organization views storytelling from a leadership point of view. Carol expects to learn new ways that stories "connect" us, teach us, entertain us, and prompt us to needed action. AS of March 19, 2008 Carol will have completed the first 10 speeches in the Competent Communicator Series and
What's New? (or not really so "new") Carol has enjoyed membership in the IBM (International Brotherhood of Magicians) Ring #193 for over 10 years. she also belongs to the IMA (Intermountain Magicians' Assembly). Besides the pure entertainment, magic performances are a superb vehicle for communication. She has traveled with IMA members to present impromptu magical performances at various hospitals, shelters and other venues. She teaches her school students the basics of finding instructions for magic tricks, organizing props and setting up for a magical performance. Remember music! strobe lights! She can help a beginning magician to make a simple trick look dazzling. Carol's students have added variety to their school talent shows! This October she taught 75 Kindergarten children how to pull a string through their necks! "I did it!" could be heard all over three different classrooms. The teachers learned how to do it too. Now they each have the entire lesson from Carol's book (left). Contact Carol to arrange a magic workshop for your student group! The Magic and Storytelling Connection Entertainment magic requires a story! It's an elegant communication tool! When we combine an interesting story, vibrant well-honed communication skills, and the enticement of a magic trick, the enchantment is exquisite! During her 30 years as a Speech and Language Pathologist, Carol has tutored numerous school students in this incredible storytelling, performing, and communicating art! She uses a book she authored called "Now You See It! Now You Don't!--Sequential Tricks for Developing Language. The lessons conform to Bloom's Taxonomy and therefore engage participants at all levels of language understanding and use.
Magic Workshops For Classroom Teachers Classroom teachers like the way this entertaining activity that utilizes Bloom's Taxonomies (Cognitive, Affective, and Psychomotor). Magic promotes verbal and social interaction. Students go straight to their school libraries in pursuit of more! They distinguish themselves in grade level and school talent shows! Teachers enjoy the generous handouts Carol provides from her book, Now You See It, Now You Don't--Sequential Tricks for Developing Language. For Seniors Got Magic? Carol has already held two workshops at the Sandy Senior Center--Magic for Grandmas and Grandpas! Although she is available for hire to provide this enticing hour-long workshop at other locations, Sandy is her "home base" and she performs for free here! For School Students Carol teaches school students the art of sequencing the steps and developing the script -- "the patter." She teaches them to perform either to their own script, music, or both. She teaches them how to engage audience participation. Her students have performed in their school's talent shows.
