​

Narrative Bound

 

This presentation invites the audience to reflect on what stories they are bound to and what stories they wish to be bound towards. 

It encompasses the neuroscience of narrative and the concept of cultural, personal and organisational narratives as sources of growth and development or sources of constraint and limitations. 

​

Be More like a Mushroom

​

The research into bio-mimicry is a jumping-off point for this presentation. Weaving together the knowledge we now have of mycorrhiza, the presentation explores how it can be used in storytelling and sustainability. 

The concept of stories being the mycelium for how humans connect is offered to the audience and ways of utlising this shared.

The Red Thread

 

The 'Red Thread' is a phrase commonly used in Sweden to describe a central theme that connects diverse subjects or ideas. In this presentation Katrice shares how each of us has a 'Red Thread' of identity and beliefs that are created through the words and stories that have been used to describe us and our cultures.

She explores how this impacts on us as educators/leaders and how the words we use to describe 'others' and ourselves can be constructive or destructive. In this engaging and insightful presentation Katrice shares the latest research that highlights the power stories have in altering behaviour and enabling people to understand and retain information on a much deeper level and how this all helps us connect as humans.

 

The Power of Story

 

In this presentation Katrice shares the neuroscience of narrative and highlights how this can be used to enhance our connection with others and create deep meaning. Her talk includes interactive tasks for the audience and a liberal dose of engaging personal anecdotes to support her message.

 

There is no Normal

 

In this talk Katrice explores limitations of having a single narrative and a fixed idea of what is normal. Through a humorous yet challenging presentation she offers a range of new perspectives for looking at our stories and the stories of others with curiosity and humbleness. She fast forwards us through cultural narratives, colonial narratives and community narratives and asks us to reflect on their impact in our personal and professional lives.
