Conversation & Connection sessions
VoiceStory is hosting their popular “Conversations & Connection” workshop sessions at the Coquitlam Library – City Center branch at 1169 Pinetree Way, Coquitlam.
There are only 24 spots available at each event, so do not wait and register your spot now!
Conversation and Connection Sessions
Conversation & Connection workshops are designed to teach you 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.
This is an advanced communication workshop series to help you become a more effective communicator, as you continue attending each session.
We start each session by introducing a few 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.
There are only 24 spots available at each workshop.

May 18 – Rewards of Perseverance
Remember that moment when you just stopped whatever you were doing, as your body & mind were exhausted, your spirit drained... and then wondered “why do I bother?”
Whispered to yourself “enough is enough…”
You could have thrown in the towel and given up.
But you didn’t.
The last breath, the last step, the last phone call – then there was success!

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.
