Change the Story, Change the World: How Storytelling Can Expand Our Impact and Extend Our Reach with Andy Goodman

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 and shaping our view of the world. In this one-hour webinar, “Change the Story, Change the World,” Andy Goodman will explain why stories remains the single most powerful communication tool you possess, and he will offer specific ways you can use stories to advance your mission.
