David Crabb Coaching

I'm David Crabb: storyteller, coach, performer and writer. I've been helping people create & perform their stories for over 15 years. As a storyteller and speaker, I've been featured on The Moth, NPR & Buzzfeed. As a published memoirist, I have extensive experience in what it takes to make a story work on the page. As a touring host of The Moth and member of The Groundlings Theater in LA, I know how to utilize performance strategies to captivate an audience and maintain their attention. Whether your goals are personal, professional or artistic, I can help you craft compelling narratives out of your experiences in many mediums and for a wide variety of purposes.

WHERE DO I TEACH?
Connecting with others through personal narrative is the cornerstone of my work. I've seen people from many fields with varied backgrounds utilize storytelling as a means to not only communicate, but change their audience through laughter, education and transparency. My wide variety of clients from artistic, therapeutic and professional fields has given me insight into the myriad ways storytelling can alter the listener, reader & participant.
