Allegory is a tool with an immediate and instinctive power, which is why the first books read to us are "The Little Engine That Could" and not "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People". As adults we tend to leave stories out of the workplace and focus on sensible practical technical discussions, and while these can teach us how to operate in a workplace, stories can teach us how to be human as well. David will go over the stories and characters of various Film & Television properties and talk about what learnings we can take away from them, with particular focus on how we can be strengthened by the differences between us. By the end of the talk you will be convinced that movies don't just have to be fun, they can be homework as well!
