Storytelling for Life

by Kirsty Eagar

Description

The human brain is hardwired for story. Being able to tell a story well is a fundamental life skill, and something that will serve you well whatever your vocation. More than that, the stories we tell ourselves shape the way we see the world.

Sixteen years ago, Kirsty made the decision to walk away from a promising career in finance, eventually becoming an award-winning author with four novels to her name. Through sharing her story, she touches on the importance of failure, persistence and small acts of bravery, and just how powerful your personal story can be.
Topics:

  • What is a story?
  • Why are they so powerful?
  • Applications in life
  • You as a Character. Wants, conflicts, flaws
  • Your story is action, not history
