Back to EpisodesStory: The True Power of Persuasion with Kim Weitkamp
Description
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.
