Sandy Schuman

Storyteller, Speaker, Humorist, Educator

My Father was a storyteller. It was his everyday way of communicating important values and ideas. I followed his example, but didn't realize it until several years ago.

After leading a three-day training program at the Pentagon, I read the attendee’s evaluation forms. In response to the question, What did you like best about the program? several people responded, “Sandy's stories.” I didn't understand what they were talking about until I asked my co-trainer, who said, “Remember you told that story about the meeting in the Adirondacks, and another one about the volunteer board of directors …” I realized then that I had told a lot of stories. And that's how I found out I was a storyteller.

Since then I've told stories more consciously and formally, and in front of audiences large and small – personal adventures, historical sagas, tall tales, Jewish stories. Take a look at what I have to offer, get in touch, and maybe you'll invite me to tell you a story.
