How to Be a Story Catcher
Great stories are not invented. They are caught.
In this keynote, storyteller and narrative strategist Aaron Calafato introduces a powerful shift in how we think about storytelling. While artists and storytellers have intuitively practiced this for centuries, this talk reframes the process for modern professionals working in business, education, healthcare, leadership, and beyond.
Instead of focusing only on how stories are told, Aaron explores the often overlooked step great storytellers rely on first: how to catch story ideas in the world around us.
This talk is designed to bring the concept of story catching into clear and practical awareness. Once audiences understand the idea, Aaron introduces simple tools and everyday exercises that help people notice, capture, and develop powerful story ideas in real time.
Participants leave with a new lens for recognizing meaningful stories in everyday life and the confidence to shape them into narratives that connect, persuade, and inspire.
