Storytelling drives research impact. It's time to become a master storyteller.

Learn the universal principles of storytelling in the research context, the elements that compel stakeholders to take action on research, and all the hacks that make research insights stick with any audience.


Finally, learn to share your OWN story with interviewers as you navigate your UXR career.

What you’ll get out of this workshop

Adapt universal storytelling principles to the research context.

People are wired for stories, which is what makes 'em such a powerful tool. We'll begin by taking learnings from English Lit, Film School, and Journalism, and adapting them to craft stellar research stories.

Elevate your research stories by incorporating advanced structure, content, and visual storytelling practices.

Once we've covered the basics, we'll discuss the advanced practices you need to know to bring insights to life, humanize data, and hyper-engage any decision-makers with visually stunning, crisply constructed narratives.

Change minds by leveraging the tenets of persuasion.

Now that we're equipped with advanced storytelling tools, we'll arm you with an arsenal of persuasive tools that naturally resonate with people and compel them to action.

Craft messages that stick.

Even the most compelling research narrative isn't necessarily memorable in the long run. Learn to integrate the key storytelling levers that'll bring people back to your insights again, and again, and again!

Reconstruct one of your own stories!

Incorporate all of our learnings to level up one of your research narratives, and apply everything in your work context.
