Janna Sobel

"Learning Storytelling with Janna was a profound, life changing experience where I was coached in speaking my truth, and saw that when I didn’t, I created roadblocks that made it challenging to express myself. Once these roadblocks were removed, the story would flow naturally and Janna would say, “Now it feels like you’re telling the truth”. I invited her to lead a series of Storytelling workshops at DDB, where the same qualities of truthfulness in storytelling are needed. People loved the workshops! Change happens when we know each other's stories, and Janna is gifted in helping to bring our stories forward."

“People talk about community all of the time but Janna lives it, she radiates it. She creates an environment where even the most frightened find courage to contribute and try new things. She opens doors for people to change the way they connect; in real, grounded and respectful ways. With humor and intelligence, she opens herself in a way that shows all of us it's okay to do the same.”

“I’ve never met anyone who can make you feel more comfortable — or happy about — getting out of your head and in touch with the creative kid in you that knows how to play. Janna can bring a group together like no one else. She can take a room full of in 10 minutes they are rolling on the floor laughing together. This atmosphere of fun is the essence of learning, and it’s why I sought out classes with her not once but twice.”

“I loved how you built our skills organically through the week-long workshop. It was brilliant.”

“Janna Sobel is a passionate professional who brings both empathy and insight to all of her workshops. The Revival has been fortunate to work with Janna across multiple programs including some of the theater’s highest-profile corporate engagements.”

"I worked with Janna on my personal storytelling and communication skills, and was so impressed with what she taught me that I brought her in to work with our company. Saggezza is a group of global technology consultants that is growing rapidly and Janna designed a dynamic workshop series for our Sales and Recruiting teams to hone our company messaging. Now we are communicating clearly and with more color and vibrancy that we though possible. Thank you, Janna!"

"Janna Sobel is one of those rare teachers who can teach about the world, while learning a world from her students. She will listen to you as well as she listens to nature."
