VoiceStory is hosting their popular “Conversations & Connection” workshops at the BCIT Downtown Campus at 555 Seymour Street.

These workshops will be held at the BCIT Downtown Vancouver campus from November 3rd to 27th.

Conversation & Connection

Conversation & Connection is the name of a series of training & development programs designed to teach fundamental skills of effective communication and also provide a safe, friendly space to practice these skills so you can have more meaningful conversations and create deeper connection with others.

The workshops are designed to provide practical knowledge, tools and live practice of social skills to help you navigate personal and professional relationships.

• Build confidence in your ability to guide conversations to a deeper level
• Be your authentic self in interactions, leaving behind “masks” and social scripts
• Learn how to create moments of connection and understanding that strengthen relationships

We begin each session by introducing key concepts on how to become a more effective communicator.

Next we invite you to participate in our safe, friendly, empowered space, where we will facilitate rounds of 1-on-1 conversation with like minded people, by providing a topic/question for each round of conversation.

We take care of pairing everyone up with someone new every round, so you have ample opportunity to meet new people from your community and connect with them by practicing your communication skills.

Winston Yeung

I am a guide.

I guide you through your story to reveal a moment of realization.

I hear what you say and also what you don’t say, the unspoken words that rob your story of context, creating an emotional disconnect that is felt before your story is heard.

I see past the stories that people naturally share and guide them to where the real story is, that part of themselves they need to reveal but are not sure of the way.

The lessons and tests I experienced along my journey are where my insight, empathy, compassion and understanding are forged.

I founded VoiceStory, a non-profit organization that is creating social connection, facilitating personal healing and promoting community building. This is done through the speaking platform – VoiceStory Live, educational workshops, mastermind, mentorship and coaching to develop an individual’s ability to embrace and share their unique stories with the intention to impact another.

How do I contact Winston as I would like to connect with him?

Being in Management and Engagement for over 20 years I’ve seen a lot of trends.

Often having what some feel are difficult conversations, because I’ve invested my energy and time and nurtured those relationships, those conversations become just that- conversations. The ability to hear people where they are at and use “relatability” is a power that I have. It has also come in very powerfully when “rallying” teams or accomplishing challenging goals. As people can truly move mountains, when they want to.

Going from circumstantial to substantial, my personal development journey is something from a big screen production script. Growing up in a middle class immigrant family my transition from the ‘good kid’ to ‘scapegoat’ happened all too quickly.

At the age of 18 several revelations unfolded in my family dynamic, shattering my understanding of trust, family, love & relationships. The aftermath of these events was a radical downward spiral into drugs, demons & rabbit holes – a dysfunctional mindset that constantly forced me to back into a dark place.

With the help of mentors & friends, I was empowered with the understanding of awareness; I was educated on how to leverage me, against me to make myself a better person.

How I bounced back from the mental, spiritual & emotional deficits is the foundation behind my unique style towards constructing a strong, solid mindset. My point blank approach to developing mindsets is as ruthless as it is compassionate.
