Bob also led a workshop called, "My Story, Your Story, History" in which participants (limit 30) learned the basic techniques of creating and sharing a story based on personal experience. They learned what kind of personal material makes a good story, and how to shape it into a dramatic form. He says of the workshop,

Tell my personal story-to strangers?! Not me! But, despite my terror, I learned to spin my joys, pains and adventures into actual tales. Unbelievably, I found that nothing else I told reached so deeply into listeners' hearts. In this workshop I will help you find the story gold in your life and craft it into tales that speak to others. Revisit your past, honor those you loved, and hear your audience tell you, "Yes, the same thing happened to me."
