From Ordinary to Extraordinary: Elevate your storytelling in 2025

January 8 @ 9:30 am - 10:30 am
Everyone associated with a nonprofit is a storyteller. As the new year begins, this is an excellent opportunity to reflect on your strengths and challenges as a storyteller. Do you excel or struggle with starting a story? How about your delivery? Are you conversational or feel too scripted? Do you know how to pivot when you feel you are losing an audience? During the one-hour online workshop, we will celebrate where people excel and offer solutions for overcoming understandable obstacles.

Reduce some of the stress by learning how to make the most out of one compelling story. During the one-hour online workshop, explore how to mine for the stories within a story effectively and creatively apply the content to more than one article or post.
