Story telling workshop provides direction
Thank you so much for the great workshop. Your passion and knowledge of using stories to engage people was reflected in the presentation.
Our team has a much deeper understanding of the elements of a good story, how to weave in our community leadership objectives into the story, and take pictures that support the story. It will be fun to compare our existing stories with the ones that we compose over the next six months!
The list we compiled on the challenges/barriers to our team capturing and writing stories was extremely helpful in framing the work we have before us. As a first step, I will be developing a ‘story writing guideline’.
Many, many thanks for all your hard work.

Senior Community Leadership Associate
With just two day’s notice, I pulled together a tailored, two-hour storytelling session for the ten members of the Community Leadership team. This team is responsible for all the non-profit grants that Vancity makes and they are hoping to better engage staff in other departments about the work and projects they support. They identified storytelling as one way to achieve this goal.
