Dynamic and thought provoking…engaging and enthusiastic…heart-warming and educational…Jen Strauss is a Storyteller, Speaker and Narrative Coach who uses STORY to enrich lives! Based in Traverse City, Michigan but performing nationally, Jen combines her passion for teaching and Storytelling to help educators, organizations, and individuals connect, communicate, and achieve their goals.
