About the session:
Narrative techniques are at the leading edge of career management theory and are quickly gaining ground as a method of practice. In this live and interactive 1-hour session you’ll learn how to use highly variable client stories and proven storytelling and ‘storylistening’ techniques to gather and organize what matters to and generate a powerful ‘career statement’.
You’ll discover how and why clients light up at the ‘aha moment’ when they see their stories transformed into transferable skills and promising and context-sensitive possibilities for their future. You’ll also be introduced to an Online Storyteller web-application and how it can be used to streamline and scale up narrative career management services in institutions, organizations and private practices.
Participants receive one free Online Storyteller credit.
Learning Goals:
The aim of the webinar is to:
- Engage you in an experiential introduction to a narrative assessment framework
- Provide an overview of an evidence-based narrative assessment system and related tools
- Elevate your existing storytelling and active listening skills
- Illustrate how to apply a web application, the Online Storyteller, in 1-on-1 sessions in a variety of settings and with different clients
