As a teller, teacher, writer, or community organizer, are you using narrative to its full potential? Although we know humans are “wired for stories,” (Cron, 2012) can those wires hang loose and remain idle?
In this workshop, we explore how to fire up your thinking adapting a “narrative mindset, (Cordi, 2019)” We Develop A narrative frame to re-see story our lives and work. The process draws on Dweck’s (2007) idea of “growth mindset” but focuses and uses narrative lens in constructing meaning.
In this practical but innovative online session, you will have the tools to begin using story in new ways and the outcomes will charge you up and re-energize your story readiness. Re-see, revision, and refine using narrative mindset practices. Your new story awaits.
