How Visual Storytelling Creates Connection and Community | Jonathan H. Lee

How do we evoke emotion through stories? On this week's episode, I speak with visual storyteller and content creator Jonathan H. Lee about the role storytelling plays to create connection and community. 

Jonathan has spent the last decade using visual documentation and storytelling to inspire collective action. He has helped numerous NGOs, social enterprises and individuals, who are purpose and impact-driven, share their heartwarming stories of resilience, innovation and impact. 

Jonathan and I were mutually connected through our association with Conscious Impact, an organisation that invites international volunteers of all backgrounds to join their camp in rural Nepal and offer skilled or unskilled labour, financial donations, and compassionate service to local communities.

In the podcast, Jonathan shares his personal journey as a storyteller, what inspires him and tips that impactful visionaries can use to tell their own stories.  

Emotion is what connects us, and when we gain the ability to feel and see what another feels and sees we only draw closer to the realisation we are all one.
