With an effective narrative, we can inspire others to join us in creating the change we want to see in the world. Whether you're motivating a donor to support a particular program, asking a volunteer to take action, educating your CEO on the need for change in your organization, or encouraging a client on the need for change in their life, crafting out your story is of great value. In this session, you’ll learn the basics of storytelling including the elements of values and emotions, work on developing your own story, and practice coaching others on improving their storytelling while also practicing your own.
