21 Jul NETWORKING THAT WORKS: BUILDING AN EFFECTIVE NETWORK THAT DELIVERS MEANINGFUL ENGAGEMENT AND OUTCOMES THROUGHOUT YOUR CAREER
Stories are far more than entertainment—they are the primary way human beings make sense of reality. Narratives shape our identities, define nations, influence political movements, drive consumer behavior, and determine how we interpret events and information. In an age of social media, misinformation, and artificial intelligence, understanding the power of storytelling has become more important than ever.
This seminar explores the central role of narrative in human life, examining how stories influence individuals, organizations, and societies. Through examples drawn from politics, business, media, culture, and personal relationships, participants will analyze how narratives are constructed, why they are persuasive, and how they shape beliefs and behavior. The course concludes by considering how emerging technologies are transforming the creation, dissemination, and credibility of stories, and what this means for the future of communication and society.
