Storytelling for Leading Community Development

Recall a time when you were inspired to invest in a cause. At the heart of that experience was a story—one that you heard from someone else or one that you told yourself. Stories are a powerful tool for leadership and community development. This posterwill highlight reasons for telling stories, explain the potential for various types of stories, and help participants develop or refine a story in support of a community development initiative. Additional attention will be given to resources that support public impact communication, including the power of stories told by a community rather than an individual.
