A story is a powerful tool that most people don’t know how to properly use -• and storytelling is one of the most important skills a true leader needs to succeed. A good story can change workplace culture, bring people together, inspire innovation, or provide a vision for the future. Dr. Bell gives audiences a concrete framework for telling a story in a unique and compelling way that will open the door for real connections with others.
Everything we think we know about how generations work is fundamentally flawed. In this fascinating talk, Dr. Bell introduces audiences to a new framework for thinking about generations based on cultural touchstones that influence the generation’s values, motivations, and world views. This new configuration of generations unlocks significant potential for better, more open, more informed communication across generational lines. It is a truly mind-blowing experience.
Particularly salient for audiences who are actively engaged in creating messaging, Dr. Bell presents a framework for why the type of stories we tell—and who is involved in telling those stories—matters. Drawing upon years of research and professional practice, Dr. Bell shows the audience the symbolic nature of storytelling and the ways in which unintentional messaging can creep into even the most carefully crafted of stories. Dr. Bell then provides a solid road map to telling deeper, more purposeful stories.
Dr. Bell will open the minds of your audience to the ways in which popular culture shapes how we feel about ourselves, how we treat other people, and how we see the world. Dr. Bell reveals the roots of public pedagogy • how media perform the function of teaching us to be members of our society. Using examples from popular culture -• Star Wars, Disney films, the NFL … it’s all fair game -• Dr. Bell weaves an intricate and compelling tapestry of media messages to help attendees become more savvy media consumers.
“I love diversity training!” said almost no employee ever. Dr. Bell takes audiences beyond the played-out, standard “diversity training” to help people understand and identify the roots of ideological, institutional, and interpersonal frameworks and move toward a more inclusive environment in a tangible way.
