Research Week: Research Communication Through Storytelling
November 26 at 9:30 am - 12:30 pm

To become better leaders in the field and build trust in our work, we need to know how to move people, not just inform them. Stories connect facts to feelings, which gets messages believed instead of just noticed. Sharpening our storytelling skills isn’t just for the benefit of others, though. Knowing how to structure relevant stories can help researchers more deeply connect to the research they are doing and why it’s important to them, ultimately leading to more impactful work.
Through a series of engaging prompts and live practice opportunities, participants will learn effective storytelling frameworks that will improve not only their ability to communicate their findings with greater impact, but also their ability to connect in compelling ways that promote understanding.
