WE Lead Narrative Lab: Framework for Narrative-Driven Change

Women's leadership stories are often narrowly framed, reinforcing biased assumptions about women's work and advancement. The University of Washington's Buerk Center for Entrepreneurship will launch a multi-year Narrative Lab that transforms entrepreneurial realities into blueprints for social change. By supporting student storytellers and translating firsthand insights into public-facing tools and facilitated conversations, the Narrative Lab will reshape leadership norms, language, and expectations across education and the evolving workplace.
