"Pam is a great teacher of storytellers. She understands both the theory of storytelling, which she can talk about clearly, and the nuances of practicing the art. Her workshops are an opportunity to take a journey of discovery of oneself, of the story, and of relationship to an audience." —Tom Boomershine, G. Ernest Thomas Professor of Communication, United Theological Seminary
