  • This session covers ways that you can you utilize the power of storytelling for your cause, organization or social purpose business, beginning with developing and communicating a strong vision and your impact to stakeholders. Stories can capture people’s attention and make it easier to process information — and can even reduce defensiveness, teach complicated concepts, change behaviors and promote social change. Neuroscience research shows that stories are processed differently from other types of information in the brain — how can you utilize this social good?
