Storytelling: Helping People Care

Getting your point across and helping people understand your arguments can be wickedly tough. That's why the basics of storytelling and narrative are so important. Join former National Park Service interpretive trainer John Rudy as he guides you through the basics of telling a story - from plot and narrative, to the tension-release cycle and building empathy. Make your writing and arguments stand out by feeding the oldest human impulse: storytelling.

In this session, you will...
1. Explore classic forms of story structure that can help you create engaging narratives.
2. Discover the importance of identifying your hero, their villain, & establishing clear stakes.
3. Explore ways the core elements of storytelling can be applied to liberal arts environments."
