Everyone Has a Story
In 2023 we shared 120 stories with you about career pathways, alumni events, and personal stories of struggles and triumphs.
Sharing your story fosters deep connections. It is in the telling of our experiences that we find common ground with others, building empathy and solidarity. Through sharing our narratives, we offer a piece of ourselves, creating bridges of relatability and inspiration. It is a gift we give not just to others but to ourselves, honouring our unique path while inviting others to walk a moment in our shoes, forging bonds that transcend time and circumstance.
Storytelling has an incredible power to inspire because it taps into the universal elements of the human experience. Whether through personal or career experiences, stories can evoke emotions and ignite change. They often carry themes of resilience, courage, love, and triumph, showcasing our capacity to overcome challenges. By sharing stories, we are offered insights, lessons, and hope. Ultimately, storytelling inspires by showing that change, growth, and success are attainable, fuelling the drive to pursue dreams and make a difference.
Thank you to those who have graciously shared their stories this year. We would love to showcase more of our alumni in 2024. And don’t worry – we take the hard work out of it for you. We will send you questions to answer, and then we write the story.
If you have a story to share or know someone who does, contact us at [email protected].
