Solving Problems Through Storytelling
Stories are a powerful way for us to remember and share memories, events and information.  Before written language, stories were the only method of passing down information and wisdom.  For the most part, we retain more information when it's presented as a story because it engages us and most of the time has a visual component that reinforces the message.  Why not apply this thinking to problem solving?  Why not make the problem solving more engaging and visual through a story?  Attend a work shop that will teach and walk you through how to do just that.

Desired Outcome
    - Learn the power of story telling
    - Learn a simple tool to solve any problem, with a solution that is practical
        and workable
    - Create a shift in thinking
