Jessica Blank On Storytelling For Impact

Achieve Great Things

Jessica Blank is on a “mission to impact our world through the transformative power of story.” She’s an award-winning writer, director, actor, producer, coach, consultant, and teacher. She has an amazing track record of creating art that leads to impact. She and her husband, Erik Jensen, launched a new form of art-for-impact, called “documentary theater.” They created a play about people condemned to Death Row for crimes they didn’t commit. That work of art helped change policy and save lives. She teaches about the brain science of storytelling, the structure of storytelling, and the power of storytelling to “move us, change us, and make us see the world in new ways.” In this episode of Achieve Great Things, we’ll talk with Jessica Blank about ways you can use the power of storytelling to create impact.
