Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

PHEC 458: Plain Language, Real Power
Q: Jen, what about you—how do you communicate public health in a way that resonates when you're at the intersection of arts and health?
Jen highlights using arts forms like theater, music, movement, and dance to convey health messages in engaging ways, wrapping information in experiences people enjoy so they learn without feeling preached to.
PHEC 458: Plain Language, Real Power
Q: How are you explaining public health or what tips do you have about explaining public health in plain language to colleagues or groups?
Angela explains using concrete, local examples and emphasizes keeping the message simple and relatable, such as root-cause changes like traffic light installations to prevent accidents, rather than overloading audiences with textbook definitions.
PHEC 459: How to Tell Better Stories, With Sally Perkins, PhD
Q: How quickly can someone start applying these frameworks in their work?
Practically immediately. With a few simple tools—like using a story loop, narrative transitions, and weaving in targeted data—people can start crafting compelling stories, and with practice they become more confident and impactful over time.
PHEC 459: How to Tell Better Stories, With Sally Perkins, PhD
Q: Sally, could you share the core framing concepts behind your storytelling approach?
The core concepts rest on neuroscience showing stories activate more of the brain than data alone, a simple loop structure (normal, problem, intervention, new normal), and two complementary storytelling modes: tree tales (focus on individuals at specific moments) and forest stories (population-level data woven into the narrative). These tools help health professionals connect with audiences and motivate action.
PHEC 456: Health Is The Village, With Vanessa Guzman, MS
Q: Tell us about your other venture, Asia Es Health (Aja Es Health).
Asia Es Health was born from personal experiences with miscarriages and a drive to make women's health a lifelong, accessible conversation. It focuses on coaching women through their life trajectory to understand health across different stages and to facilitate conversations with providers.
