Lunch & Learn: Storytelling and Experiential Learning

Date: 
5 Dec 2025 - 12:30pm
Topic: 
Storytelling and Experiential Learning
Description: 

Storytelling is a valuable and effective mechanism for communicating ideas, learnings and experiences among individuals and teams. Stories based on one's actual experiences are even more valuable and easier to tell. Gaining a new experience through experiential learning builds one's portfolio of stories.

In this informal session, 3 Chapter members will share their own stories and experiential learning participation. Participants will also have an opportunity to share stories and discuss areas for new learning opportunities – perhaps leading to future session topics.
