Storytelling, Narration, and the “Who I Am” Story

Catherine Ramsdell

Volume 2

Chapter Description

This chapter focuses on the importance of storytelling to successful personal and professional communication in the 21st century. Because narration transcends experience, and because stories “can be found anywhere from a movie theatre to a corporate boardroom, everyone should know how to tell a good story.”  While the chapter covers some theoretical aspects of narration, it will also help you show students how to create a “Who I Am” story and give them the opportunity to craft their own stories.
