John Trybus
Professor and Executive Director at Georgetown University’s Center for Social Impact Communication
You may not consider yourself to be a storyteller, but you are. We cannot live through a single day without sharing stories and being influenced by them. The process of storytelling is one of the things that makes us uniquely human, and the telling, listening, and amplification of stories can and does create social impact. Yet, we must also evolve how we utilize this ancient form of connection in strategically modern ways in order to realize more ethical and equitable impact through our fundraising work among a network of donors and university stakeholders as we evolve the narrative about nursing. Join story scientist Dr. John Trybus of Georgetown University on a journey through the past, present, and future of storytelling for social impact.
