Using storytelling to compel and persuade in design
Limited Capacity full
Adding this to your schedule will put you on the waitlist.
We all know a good story when we hear it, but telling a compelling one ourselves can often feel like a skill reserved for the entertainers and writers of the world. By tapping into this innate skill, we’ll learn how to better position our work and inspire others.

In this session, we’ll talk about how to use the power of storytelling to better understand your own work, and engage and persuade others. Through hands-on exercises, you’ll learn how to apply techniques like narrative arcs that can help you more compellingly frame your work. Though this talk is targeted at designers, it’s well suited to anyone in the business of creating.
