“Michael’s coaching sessions are the storytelling equivalent of Jedi training.”
online courses & coaching
“One of the most radical and relevant pieces of training I’ve ever been on as a storyteller.”
Covid wiped my diary clean but I’ve retrained with the Canadian online education company Mirasee and now offer storytelling training and coaching online. So far I have delivered a pilot storytelling course and a Welsh language storytelling course and am about to start work with a cohort of German storytellers from February.
The online course is a solid grounding in storytelling practice using methods that are as relavant to professional storytellers as they are to new ones. The principles and practice I use stem from over twenty years of teaching storytelling at Bleddfa, in universities and internationlly. I am developing models for new courses and co-coaching groups which will be available online from around April.
Sign-up below and you will be amongst the first to hear of new opportunities.
Feedback from the Pilot Course…
“Michael’s course is jam packed full of knowledge, which is delivered in a kind and loving way. I left feeling uplifted, more confident and a better storyteller. I would highly recommend working with Michael in any and every capacity. ”
“DO IT just find the money and DO IT ”
“I have recommended this course already! But I would say: “Do it, learn actual real world techniques to develop yourself and your storytelling. You’ll learn about yourself, about your stories and feel confident in developing and telling them. I have learned real skills I will go back to again and again.”
Thanks for reading this far. More information will be coming shortly - sign up below if you would like to be kept in the loop…

“Diolch Michael for encouraging the discovery of authentic telling. The material and myself now weave as a unit: combining various modes of telling you present. The story is not separate, or staged, I allow it to flow. This discovery was essential - thank you Michael for your expertise and guidance. ”
“The most beneficial use of time and money I can remember spending. I made so much progress in such a short time. ”
“I have started taking online coaching sessions with Michael and have found them incredibly useful. For a long time I felt that I wasn’t developing in my storytelling. After just one session with Michael I could clearly see the way forward. The sessions with him have been great fun as well as challenging, and he gives detailed written feedback to work with after every session. I can’t recommend this process highly enough. Supercharge your storytelling!”
“There’s a big difference between a performer who tells you what they have learnt, and a teacher who makes a space for you to learn what you are ready to learn, and walks beside you while you do it. Michael is a true teacher. ”
“Michael has an easy and encouraging manner which makes easy to try things out - but his style is informed by a depth of knowledge and skill. I have benefitted so much from these sessions. ”
Storytelling workshop as part of NT’s War Horse tour.
“Michael Harvey’s storytelling coaching is phenomenal. I learned a lot about mastering the flow of story, and about marrying the different worlds to create a colourful tapestry which the story audience can see clearly. I really value Michael’s natural, heartfelt, sensitive and inspiring way of coaching.”
“Michael, is a master storyteller and a highly skilled facilitator. He has that rare gift of putting you at ease, whilst also keeping you, creatively ‘on your toes‘, simultaneously.. The sessions were invaluable, supporting me to develop a more nuanced an authentic voice.”
