Your Story in the Spotlight | International Women's Day 2026
Showing Up with Your Story - a Social Media Storytelling Workshop
You don't need permission to tell your story. But sometimes it helps to have some company.
If you've been thinking sharing your story and showing up online, this is the workshop for you.
Maybe you navigated a massive career shift, learned a lesson the messy way in Japan, or have creative work sitting in your drafts folder.
What if this year, you finally hit publish?
This International Women's Day, FEW Japan is creating space for women ready to put their story in the spotlight.
What to Expect
We'll kickoff with a brief panel conversation with women who've built meaningful online presences by showing up as themselves. We'll explore questions like:
- What was the first thing you ever shared publicly, and how did it feel?
- What's something you almost didn't post — but did anyway?
- What would you tell someone who's been sitting on a story or idea for months?
Then we'll move to small groups where you'll discuss different storytelling formats (creative writing, LinkedIn reflections, creativity on Instagram) and discover what feels right for your story.
You'll leave with something concrete — a good dose of inspiration, plus a plan you can actually act on.
This workshop is for women like you
- You've been meaning to start a blog, newsletter, a book, or YouTube channel but keep putting it off
- You have something to share on LinkedIn but worry it's "too much"
- You've written something personal but can't bring yourself to post it
- You want to promote your book, project, or business but feel uncomfortable with self-promotion
- You're not sure which platform or format fits your voice
- You just need someone to tell you: Yes, your story matters. Yes, people want to hear it.
Who's facilitating?
We're bringing together a diverse panel of women who've found their voices across different platforms and mediums. Guest speakers will be announced soon — watch this space and follow us on LinkedIn!
