"Every Child Has a Story"Ā FREE WEBCLASSĀ
How to Help Every Child in Your School Discover the Story Only They Can Tell
This is for you if you lead or teach in a school where children are performing rather than expressing. Where they complete assignments and yet something essential is missing.
This is for you if you are a parent who watches your child achieve every standard set for them, and still wonders: does she know who she actually is?
Kate will show you exactly what happens when children are finally asked to tell their own story.
Even the ones who have never believed they had anything worth saying.

The Story Behind StoryQuest
When Kate Markland was separated from her nine-year-old son Gabriel, they had one hour weekly on FaceTime.
Kate had spent 20 years as a physiotherapist listening to people's stories before she understood how they healed. She knew one thing: people don't recover through instructions.
They recover through discovering they have something worth saying.
So she asked Gabriel one question.
"Would you like to be the hero of your own story?"
He said yes immediately.
Over 24+ months of Friday nights, Gabriel told stories. Kate scribed every word. No corrections. No templates. Just: "Tell me more."
Those Friday nights became The Adventures of Gabriel, an international number one Amazon bestseller read in the UK, USA, Canada, India and Pakistan.
When teachers asked how she had done it, Kate brought the methodology to schools.
465 children later, across 9 schools, the answer is always the same.
Every child already has a story.
They just need someone to ask.
