Sean Wellington

We all have stories inside us, the ones we need to get out, the ones the world needs to hear - the ones that really matter.

These stories can change lives, sometimes save lives, but most of us never learn how craft and tell them in ways that are engaging, relatable and memorable. Let's make your stories matter!

The Stories that Matter Program's 5S Framework centers on...
◦ Why personal stories matter
◦ 3 secrets to all great stories
◦ 5 core craft components (simplified)
◦ Rockstar stage presentation tips

Sean leverages his years on stage as a personal narrative storyteller, theatre practitioner, improviser, solo show artist and founder of GRIT: True Stories that Matter to help you craft and tell stories that matter...

✔ Speak or sell from stage
✔ Boost your confidence
✔ Nail your upcoming interview
✔ Help others feel less alone
✔ Or just finally 'get it out'

Remember, you're story away!

Every year, millions of people around the world try to take their own lives and we almost never talk about. When we do talk about it, many of us don't know how.

People are in profound pain, often life-threatening pain, and while many of us are well intentioned in our efforts to help, we too often judge and shame, invalidate or simply outsource empathy, leading to more and more people suffering in silence.

Sean lost his best friend to suicide and has battled his own mental health demons for more than two decades. He started the Suicide Noted podcast in the summer of 2020, and has engaged in 120 in-depth, candid conversations with suicide attempt survivors.

The Suicide Noted Program explores and illustrates...

◦ Why attempt survivor stories matter
◦ Why loneliness is a growing epidemic
◦ How curiosity and empathy are linked
◦ The myriad myths around suicide and suicidailty

Let's slay silence
Let's slay stigma
Let's slay suffering
