What if your story could change the world?
When it comes to creating social change, we imagine that only front leaders of huge organizations with big budgets can make a difference. What happens when calling your senator or tweeting #BlackLivesMatter think pieces isn’t enough?
What if we told you the most influential tool you can use to incite change is something you already owned? When it comes to inspiring action and harnessing momentum, storytelling is a key tool in shaping how people understand the world. Whether we’re rallying, attending a conference, or sitting in a classroom, we have tons of opportunities to share our personal narratives.
In this workshop you’ll:
- learn how to analyze and construct strategic stories using Story-Based Strategy
- learn how to use your personal story to strategically undermine dominant narratives
- workshop and practice telling your personal story
- have the opportunity to record your story in a professional studio
