EAA Seminar: Storytelling for Actuaries
Announcement from the EAA organiser:
In today's data-driven world, actuaries play a crucial role in explaining complex numbers, statistics and models to allow for informed decisions. However, amidst the sea of data, the power of storytelling often gets overlooked. In this immersive 2-day course, we invite actuaries to explore the art of storytelling and discover how it can enhance their professional communication and impact.
Through engaging lectures, interactive exercises, and real-world examples, you will learn the fundamentals of storytelling, develop and craft your own story and practice the “telling” of that story. The seminar welcomes your active participation for individual and group exercises with the aim of applying the theory as soon as possible, especially to work on your own story. Not only will you prepare a story on paper or with slides, but you’ll also learn how to tell it to make the impact that you intend. Storytelling becomes impactful with the practice of telling that story, which will take place on day 2 of the seminar. By the end of this seminar, you will emerge with a newfound appreciation for the narrative dimension of your work, equipped with practical tools to convey insights, drive decision-making, and inspire action through the power of storytelling.
