“The whole program was very eye opening. It opened up my perspective as a writer in looking at characters.”


“The ideas about how the stories we tell about civic leadership have a lasting effect on the community is really sticking with me. I'm thinking a lot about how to keep these types of stories positive.”


“The presentation offered enough broad strokes of how to think differently about stories that it inspired me to want to know so much more about all the different ways people are engaged.”


“You opened my mind to how I've been stuck in a narrow lane of what types of civic action/leadership characters to portray. I left the brief presentation feeling excited about the infinite storylines to explore.”
