Course Description

This is a course designed for those who want to learn how to communicate and influence in the public sphere through storytelling and personal narrative. Drawing from presentation and storytelling skills, from drama to delivery, students will learn how to structure, engage and connect in their personal choice of communication mode, by transforming the arc from a “story of self” to a “story of us and now”, and through this, become engaging future leaders in academic and professional careers with a particular emphasis on and concern about issues within the public sphere.
你知道賈伯斯只用了一句話贏取了建立帝國的資金嗎?
你聽過一個樂壇歌手如何用「草船借箭」為同志朋友們抗爭到勝利嗎?
你相信一個經過你身邊,你也不會注意到的雜草女配角,用了一小口燉牛肉,輕奪了校草籃球隊隊長嗎?
「故事行銷」影響了佔90%的全球新興事業銷售量,透過故事感染力、自我療癒過程,你可以學習換位思考、增加自我魅力(likeability) 、贏取認同,進而影響周圍環境。
如果讀到這裡,你還沒關視窗,那確診完畢,你適合這堂課,來吧!讓我們用一支筆、一張嘴,來攪動一池春水,填平生活不滿,告訴世界:「我的不滿,憑什麼要我吞下!」

Course Objective
This course is designed to help undergraduates develop storytelling skills and guide them to more deeply see the “story of self”—personal narrative and experience–within the context of awareness and concern for our world today and society. Using multiple modes of communication, the focus will be on developing competency through the practice of a variety of communication skills, and the acquisition of specific skills and techniques to become engaged as future communicators and leaders through the use of shared values and experiences to address pressing contemporary topics in our world and society.
1. 輕輕解釋一件事:一支筆、一張嘴,用得好,可以勝過關公大刀!
2. 考驗槓桿原理,證明是否可用一支筆搬動「地」上那顆「球」!
