The Story Below Your Work
About the event
A hands-on storytelling workshop for ocean leaders, founders, and scientists. Spots are limited, please apply and register early!
The ocean has a visibility problem. So does your work. When a forest burns, the whole world watches. When a coral reef bleaches, it dies in the dark, a hundred feet down, witnessed by no one. Most of us only ever meet the ocean at its surface. Many never meet it at all. And nearly everything that matters happens where no one can see it: the warming, the collapse, the recovery. The problems are invisible. So are the solutions, and so are the people working on them. That's the real fight you're in. Not against deniers or competitors or funding cycles. Against invisibility, and the apathy that follows. The instinct is to fight invisibility with information. We reach for the technology, the data, the framework, things just as invisible as the deep sea. You cannot fight invisibility with abstraction. You fight it with a story. Underneath every ocean career is the same thing: an encounter that never left you. For some it was a single dive. For others a childhood, a coastline, an animal you connected with. Whatever it was, it changed the way you see the ocean. That encounter is a way in. Your unique experience, what you thought, felt, and did, can't be found anywhere else. And when people hear it, they don't just understand why it matters. They feel it. There are many stories your work needs. This is the one underneath all of them. About the workshop Over 90 minutes, you'll uncover the origin story beneath your work and shape it into something you can actually tell. You'll leave with a story in your own voice and one concrete concept for a film or piece of content. Expect to write, brainstorm, and say a few things out loud you haven't said in a professional room before. Who it's for Organization leaders, founders, innovators, and scientists working on ocean challenges. People whose work deserves a wider audience than it's getting. No…
