ForwardIntroduction to Public Narrative: Storytelling for Change

Participants will learn how to develop a Story of Self, Story of Us, and Story of Now to strengthen communication, build trust, and increase engagement with patients, families, trainees, and interdisciplinary teams. Through interactive exercises, attendees will enhance their ability to communicate purpose, motivate behavior change, foster collaboration, and lead effectively in clinical and healthcare settings, ultimately supporting more patient-centered and effective care.
