Unearth: The Hero Within

— the 7-week STORY EXPERIENCE

  • Tired of your answer to the question "What do you do?"

  • Challenged to access your passion when telling others about yourself?

  • Know you have a brilliant story inside of you waiting to be authentically expressed?

This experience might be perfect for you.

Scroll down to see everything included and the course curriculum.

A 7-week storytelling journey (virtually, of course) where you will work on your own and in group experiences to:

  • Uncover how you've been destined to impact the world so you can connect those dots for others

  • Follow a proven method that invites profound trust between you and those you serve

  • Hit the "refresh button" on how you are approaching sharing who you are with the world

  • Connect with other like-minded thought leaders, business professionals, and change agents

What’s included?

  • 15 Guided Videos

    Original content from Corey Blake, founder of the Round Table Storytelling Academy, guiding you every step of the way.

  • 22 Readings

    Original content from Round Table's editorial team, developed to invite you deeply into a world of storytelling where brilliance is the bar.

  • 24 Film Clips and TED Talks

    Storytelling examples that bring the lessons to life and inspire you to reach further and dig deeper so you impress yourself.

  • 8 Group Experiences

    Zoom get-togethers that establish community, deepen psychological safety, and build lasting relationships.

  • 12 Journaling Lessons

    Prompts to guide you through the process of excavating the defining moments of your life.

  • More than 70 Other Lessons

    Audio lessons, story examples, quizzes, surveys, and step-by-step guidance to support the building of your story.

  • Bonus Content from an Award Winner

    Videos & journaling examples from your instructor, an award-winning storyteller in writing and photography, Genevieve Georget.

  • 365 Days of Access

    After you commence from this 7-weeks, return to the lessons and recordings (available to this class only) as needed for ongoing support.

Who is this course for?

  • Company founders, executives, and coaches who believe in storytelling and desire to create gravitational pull, influence behavior change, and amplify impact

  • Storytellers, speakers, artists, writers, and film makers who are eager to use their own story as the basis of a thought leadership platform

  • Change agents who recognize the power of vulnerability and its ability to serve as a beacon that makes you visible to those intended to play in your sandbox with you

Who is this course NOT for?

  • Those not interested in storytelling as a vehicle for transformation and growth will not like this course experience!

  • While you do NOT have to be a professional writer, artist, or storyteller, if you are unwilling to “play” you best stay away

  • If the idea of being vulnerable makes you want to run screaming, please save yourself from all the undue suffering

What’s the investment?

$745 USD or 3 x $298 USD
$654 USD or 3 x $268 USD until April 25—or all spots are filled


Limited seats are available for this intimate class. As you consider making this investment in yourself, consider that this course is a guaranteed transformational experience—not a transactional one. If you've wanted to write a book for some time, ask yourself, what is the cost of another year gone by without significant progress?
