Michelle Darby

 

has spent nearly forty years bringing stories to life—as an actor, director, singer, and celebrated storytelling teacher and coach. For the past 13 years, she has taught the art of true, personal narrative storytelling across the globe, including seven years at Stanford University, online for public audiences, and in person around the world.

 

Her students have ranged from professionals in international organizations to first-time storytellers finding their voice.

 

Over those 13 years, Michelle developed her own unique method of teaching personal storytelling—a process rooted in structure, presence, vulnerability, and emotional truth.

 

Michelle has been featured at storytelling festivals such as the Zeg Storytelling Festival in Tbilisi, Georgia, and currently serves as story curator and coach for Stories From the Stage, produced by WGBH and The World in Boston, MA, and aired on most PBS stations throughout the U.S.

 

A personal story doesn’t just entertain—it connects, heals, and reveals who we really are.
