You need to tell a personal story — about what you do — that inspires others to join you, whether as investors, employees, supporters, donors. Stories About What We Do™ can be the most difficult story you tell — with the most at stake. For anyone who needs to tell an effective story that connects you to your work — especially if you have been telling a story that isn’t “working” or doesn’t feel “authentic” to you.
Engagement: 3 weeks, multiple 1:1 meetings, online, flat fee.
Spokespeople always want to do the best they can: make sure they have the training to do it. For staff and non-staff spokespeople, this training covers narrative literacy, personal storytelling, media training, public speaking, and concludes with a storytelling session.
Engagement: 6 x 1 hour training modules or 1 full day. In a group or 1:1. Customizable.
Prep for a specific upcoming media opportunity, including messaging, performance tips and mock interview rehearsals.
Engagement: Hourly.
Speaking to the media is unnatural — but it’s a skill that can be learned. Being “good at press” just comes down to practice and knowledge; learn tricks and hacks to build your confidence.
Engagement: 3 × 1 hour training modules. In a group or 1:1.
Ethical storytelling systems produce better stories — it’s that simple. Learn the ethical issues to consider — based on narrative theory and communications practice — and set up a system that will yield long-term results. Includes practical program design, best practices and policies, and systems design.
Engagement: Custom only — dependent on your existing program.
When you are in a crisis, you need a thought partner to help you navigate choices, avoid mistakes and clearly communicate what you want to say. (If you are looking for someone to just “tell me what to do” or “make it go away”, this is not for you.)
Engagement: Hourly, for the duration.
It’s not if you find yourself in a crisis, it’s when. Learn the process for navigating decisions in a crisis so you are ready when the moment comes.
Engagement: 2 hour training. In a group or 1:1.
