This session can be summarized by answering three questions.
Why Public Speaking? Why Storytelling? How Storytelling?

Q1 Why Public Speaking?
A1 Because public speaking—amplified by video dissemination—will be more important tomorrow than it is today. Because there is a “Talk Renaissance” going on right now.

Q2 Why Storytelling?
A2 Because stories make us care. Because stories motivate us to act. Because storytelling facilitates large-scale professional, social, and societal collaboration.
