Name
Powerboosting From our Past Through Map-Drawing
Description
Guilt. Shame. Fear. Self-criticism. Our past never truly leaves us. Yet, we help others move forward while often leaving ourselves behind. What would it look like if you could revisit your own past through a map, story, or video game? Imagine you’ve stumbled upon a room with three moments in your past facing you, each as their own large, green pipe. Which pipe and moment do you choose to jump into and revisit and why? Are you equipped for the journey? Join this interactive session to draw your own map using new tools from a video game Executive Producer, to re-design a game-level or story from your past that you’re proud of. All levels of drawing, storytellers, and non-gamers are welcome and appreciated! Arrive curious, leave with fun, new “powerboosts” to help yourself and teams reframe their own life moments and communication.

Learning Objectives
1. DESIGN an illustrative map of defining life moments using a video game design method to draw a map theme, characters, legends, roadblocks, and more.
2. TRANSLATE the hard life-moments into a redefined positive story or game, illustrating how those challenges equipped a person to become who they are today as a result.
3. AUTHOR a revised “hero” mission statement, catchphrase, and two ways a new map will immediately change how they show up for others and can be used with others.
