Authentic Storytelling that Meets the Moment
By Dr. Rod Berger
Join Dr. Rod Berger on a storytelling journey that reveals how to uncover, shape, and share the potential of a compelling story. With decades of experience as a writer, producer, keynote speaker, podcaster, and moderator, Rod invites readers to explore the transformative power of authentic storytelling and how it can elevate communication, strengthen relationships, and inspire meaningful change in both personal and professional settings.
Residing in Franklin, Rod is recognized globally as an authority on strategic storytelling and communication architecture. Over his distinguished career, he has conducted more than 4,000 interviews around the world, including conversations with Pope Francis, NBA legend Magic Johnson, and Formula 1 World Champion Jenson Button. His work has taken him from United Nations offices in Rome to refugee camps in Uganda, where he uncovered deeply human stories of resilience, courage, and hope—reminding us of storytelling’s unique ability to connect and heal.
In The Narrative Edge, Rod explores the resurgence of storytelling in today’s complex and fast-paced society. He demonstrates how narratives influence corporate strategies, educational initiatives, and digital media engagement while offering readers practical tools to tell their own stories with authenticity, purpose, and confidence. Readers will learn how to reclaim their personal narratives rather than let others define them—discovering strength, clarity, and validation in their lived experiences.
Inside the book, Rod shares cautionary lessons on how grievance and envy can distort our stories and how to replace them with inspiration, gratitude, and courage. He delves into the art and science of uncovering the “Story of You,” revealing the untapped power of authenticity and vulnerability as catalysts for personal growth and meaningful connection.
Perfect for students, professionals, and business leaders, The Narrative Edge provides actionable insights for anyone seeking to communicate more deeply and lead with influence.
As part of the book’s launch, Rod is partnering with charity: water to raise awareness and support for global clean water access. Readers are invited to join this mission at a special November 15th event at The Factory at Franklin, with all proceeds benefiting charity: water.
