Story-Based Talks: Caregiving and Culture Change
Stories have the power to humanize statistics and spark change. Many employees won’t openly identify as caregivers, but their experiences come to life through storytelling. These untold stories explain absenteeism, disengagement, and even turnover in ways data alone cannot.
Chef Maria Kemp delivers story-based talks that blend lived caregiving experience with corporate insight. By weaving narratives with research and dessert-based analogies, she helps audiences connect emotionally while also walking away with practical takeaways.
