What I Learned Helping More Than 500 People Tell Stories 2pm, Lake Austin Resort

For the past twenty-five years, Catherine Burns has worked with people from all walks of life—from Nobel laureates to janitors, astronauts and inmates—to develop true, personal stories that have moved and delighted live audiences and radio listeners around the world.

In this engaging talk, she shares what she’s learned after listening to thousands of stories: how vulnerability can create connection, humor can help us process difficult events, and even the most ordinary moments can carry extraordinary meaning. Along the way, Catherine will reveal behind-the-scenes insights from her decades as Artistic Director of The Moth and explore why storytelling remains one of the most powerful tools we have to understand ourselves and each other.
