Learn the theory and evidence behind why storytelling works to drive change in a research context.
Craft compelling narratives using the 3S framework that simplify complex research, making it accessible, engaging and actionable for your audience.
See how other academics elevated their research through storytelling to garner recognition, influence change, and achieve real-world impact. So you can too!
Storytelling is the magic elixir to ensure your research gets funded, applied in practice and has real world impact.
Stories are facts, opinions and experiences woven into narrative structures that evoke an emotional response in our audience. They make research: ︲ Understandable. ︲ Memorable. ︲ Emotional. Score at hat trick and you get ACTION. Action is what we need to generate measurable change. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to distil your work into key messages, weave it into narratives that captivate audiences, and influence change.
