Keynote Speeches
Everyone has a tale to tell, and it’s been Carol’s privilege– as a journalist– to bring many people’s stories to large audiences. During her four decades of reporting and interviewing she’s have learned about the immense power of storytelling, and will share this power with her audience.
Carol’s seen that sharing narratives with others helps to break down differences. Stories of joy, of hardship, of achievement, if told well, can make the lives of complete strangers seem so familiar. We start to identify with others –we imagine ourselves in the same situation. And though everyone’s story is unique, the essence of each is part of our common humanity.
As a writer and a broadcaster, Carol’s been the instrument through which people from around the world have told each other what they’ve done or what they’ve gone through. Those stories are tragic, inspiring, cliffhanging, thought-provoking and quite often just downright funny. She loves sharing them with audiences.
Our experiences are universal. Sharing them creates a deeply humane and compassionate society. That’s Carol’s goal.
