Cindy Chastain

After hearing Cindy Chastain's talk, "Think Like a Storyteller," I feel like I'm on a deep journey of learning about myself. Her interesting views on storytelling have really stuck with me, and made me think more about how I tell stories and communicate.

During the talk, Chastain highlighted how storytelling can create connection, empathy, and understanding. She stressed the value of being real and it really struck a chord with me. It made me realise I need to be open and honest when I tell stories.


Reflection

Listening to Chastain's words made me think about the stories I've shared in my life. I saw how storytelling has become a big part of who I am, changing how I talk to people and understand the world. Chastain taught me to tell stories with a clear goal, not just to share what happened. I learned to look deeper into my stories, finding the main ideas, feelings, and messages that mean the most to me.

Chastain's talk made me think about the many ways to tell stories, from spoken stories to written ones, art, and more. Her lessons made me see the unlimited power of storytelling to cross boundaries and touch people's feelings.

With what I learned from Chastain, I feel ready to use storytelling to help me grow and make positive changes. I am excited to bring her thought process into my finished Apollo design.
