The Unexplored Depths of Story-Listening | Priscilla Jebaraj | TEDxNLUO

I know, it sounds simple; of course you have to hear a story before you can tell it, right? It’s astonishing how often we are bad at doing just that, and how serious are the implications when we fail.
As members of a civilized world, we are too often guilty of this- of listening only to a spokesperson- an appointed protagonist, rather than hearing the inside story directly from those who have the right to tell it.

Priscilla Jebaraj is a journalist from The Hindu and a masterful storyteller. She has lived and worked for several years, engulfed in a varied set of contrasting and intriguing sea of sociological experiences and her perspectives on human attitudes are designed to enthrall the best of us.
