9:00 a.m. to 11:15 a.m. Morning Workshop   
Change the Story, Change the World
Presented by Andy Goodman, Director, The Goodman Center

Since we first began talking to each other, telling stories has been a powerful way to capture attention, engage an audience, and motivate them to act. As we learn more about how our minds work, we’re also discovering that stories are intrinsic to decision-making, shape our view of the world, and guide our actions every day. In his workshop, “Change the Story, Change the World,” Andy Goodman will explain why storytelling remains the single most powerful communication tool you possess, and he will offer specific ways your organization can use stories to advance your mission.
