The stories of the volunteers who come through your organisation and the work they do can be profound and moving. The stories of the lives that are changed, in tiny and massive ways, hold an intrinsic value to anyone who gets to hear them. These stories, and the effect they have on us, are often the reason we do what we do.
But are we sharing these stories in our organisational communication enough? Are we thinking creatively, laterally and practically about where these stories can be embedded in our reporting, recruitment, staff engagement, training and marketing? A story can be much more powerful than a quantitative data point because engaging stories are memorable, moving and they influence behaviour.
In this storytelling workshop, you are invited to:
- Explore how to capture, record and store stories inside your organisation
- Plan when and where to use storytelling to achieve your goals
- Learn tools to construct and structure an engaging story
- Learn key presenting skills for live storytelling
- Practice storytelling, in a supportive environment
Bring your curiosity, your experience, a story or two and let's play.
