Telling Stories that Stick
Date: Tuesday, May 7 from 10 a.m. – noon; online
Are you looking for ways to share your organization’s mission, goals and success? How do you tell others about the good you are doing and the work yet to be done? How might you get them to understand and care about your organization the way you do? You might call this advocacy, relationship-building or communications. It all boils down to telling your story – and telling it in a way that resonates with the listener, engages their hearts and minds, and inspires them to think, feel or do something in support of your organization. In this online session, we’ll cover how to find the stories that illustrate your mission, goals and success, the elements of a good story, and ways to share your stories. You’ll leave with ideas and templates to get you started in telling your own stories that stick. Instructor: Trina Walker, TLWStrategy, in conjunction with the Bayer Center of Robert Morris University.
