People remember stories, but forget facts. The best stories are those that spread great ideas like wildfire, taking their audience on an emotional journey and inspiring them to take action. This is why effective storytelling for nonprofits is such a powerful - and essential - tool, in order for you to grab people’s attention, make your message memorable, and inspire others to contribute to your cause.
This free online storytelling course is packed with tools, best practices, and a step by step narrative framework that will enable anyone to improve how they create and share their stories. You will learn how to translate facts into emotions, turn the typical “I” story into a “we” story to engage your audience, craft a catchy Super Short Story for social media, and apply the secrets used by master storytellers such as Steve Jobs and Hollywood writers to make your story come alive.
Along the way, you will meet an expert practitioner who will explain why the art of storytelling is their #1 recruiting and fundraising tool, and how it has helped transform their organization to maximize their impact.
