May 23 Event with Arthur C. Brooks: ‘Telling the Human Story’
May 23, 2018 @ 8:00 am - 9:15 am
Atlanta – It’s one of the paradoxes of persuasion: Smart people are afraid to tell stories.
But while we often resort to facts and figures to get a point across, the truth is that human stories possess the greatest power to convict, persuade and, most importantly, unite.
As neuroscientists and behavioral social scientists have demonstrated, the secret to stronger human connection isn’t more data. It’s better stories.
By learning to share the narratives of our own lives — and paying closer attention to those of others — we can all become more unifying as leaders in our communities, families and places of work.
Few are as renowned for harnessing the power of storytelling as Arthur C. Brooks, president of the American Enterprise Institute (aei.org) since 2009.
Join Brooks, the bestselling author of “The Conservative Heart” and contributing New York Times opinion writer, for “Telling the Human Story,” an 8 a.m. Leadership Breakfast on Wednesday, May 23, at Cobb County’s Georgian Club.
This event, hosted by the Georgia Public Policy Foundation and the Georgia Center for Opportunity, is open to the public.
