FEATURED GUEST:


One of Narativ’s hallmark tools is a story map in which the storyteller first plots the end of the story, then the beginning, and then the salient turning points in between. The end of my story is this very moment. I am Narativ’s lead designer and trainer. I travel all over the world, conducting storytelling workshops for corporations and organizations. I teach in the department of Narrative Medicine at Columbia University. I perform in Two Men Talking, a stage performance, and I make documentary films.
