Great stories are not invented. They are caught. Join MA in Communication Assistant Program Director Patricia Hernandez when she hosts storyteller and narrative strategist Aaron Calafato for a discussion on how to reframe the storytelling process for modern professionals working in business, education, healthcare, leadership, and beyond. Creator of 7-Minute Stories, the #1 short-form extemporaneous storytelling podcast in the world, Calafato also serves as the lead podcast strategist and executive producer for Indeed and Glassdoor.
Instead of focusing only on how stories are told, Calafato will explore the often overlooked step great storytellers rely on first: how to catch story ideas in the world around us. He will share simple tools and everyday exercises designed to help people notice, capture, and develop powerful story ideas that connect, persuade, and inspire in real time.
