The Power of Storytelling

I attended the hang out on October 20 which featured a special discussion on storytelling. My key takeaways from this session were the importance of conducting research in advance in order to add authenticity to your story, and power to your words. 

This book was recommended by the presenter - Story Design: The Creative Way to Innovate by Denise Withers 

If we think about it from the big picture, storytelling could involve looking for patterns in data and then deciphering what the patterns tell us. 

From a learning and teaching perspectives, we may consider what behaviours we are trying to change and how would a story fit into that narrative.

Finally consider how to craft a story, and what its structure would be. 

BTW - I did purchase a book that was recommended in a previous class, The Science of Storytelling. I am really looking forward to reading it.
