Story of Self

“Stories not only teach us how to act -they inspire us to act. Stories communicate our values through the language of the heart, our emotions. By telling our personal stories of challenges we have faced, choices we have made, and what we learned from the outcomes we can inspire others and share our own wisdom.” ~ Marshall Ganz
Who am I? What values do I cherish? How have my experiences shaped the person I’ve become today? The focus of the “story of self” is on who we are and how we choose to identify ourselves. Before getting to know others, we have to know ourselves. The “story of self” allows us to share important moments that we have experienced in our lives and how they have shaped our beliefs, our passions, and our dreams. Language is a powerful tool of self-expression and stories can ignite empathy, solidarity and the courage to act.
