David Hunt: The Power of Stories

If you missed the opening keynote of David Hunt you missed something powerful. His message: No one can tell the story of prevention better than we can.
Here were some of my takeaways. Share yours in the comments below.
  • Storytelling has an important role in shaping prevention policy.
  • Stories move, shape and guide us in ways we can't imagine. (We fall in love because of stories, we'll kill, we'll give money...)
  • Story is our most powerful tool to turn a personal experience into a collective experience to inspire action to change policy.

    I love the idea that policy is created from our stories. It makes policy change so much more accessible.

    I liked the emphasis on how natural/easy storytelling is... "you don't have to go to school for it, you have it."
