In this presentation, Sociologist, best-selling author, and mother of 5, Bertice Berry, Ph.D. argues that how we tell our story is we are living our lives. “If we can tell better stories, we can live more productive, harmonious, and peaceful lives,” Berry says.

Sociological Story Telling, or using a story as a means of understanding, connecting, and belonging is finding a new place among scholars and business leaders. However, Berry points out that it is also an effective tool for empowering its users to present the self they want and need others to see.

Using her unique blend of storytelling and humor, Berry will make you think and feel.
