About this event
- Event lasts 1 hour 30 minutes
So much connectivity, so little connection! Leaders often find themselves stretched thin, struggling to nurture relationships and effectively communicate their messages in a way that truly resonates. While many focus on results, the most effective leaders recognize that meaningful relationships drive those results. It’s not an either/or. Stories are the currency of connection, making storytelling an indispensable skill for modern leaders. Strategic storytelling is more than a soft skill. It contributes to revenue. This interactive and reflective session is designed to lay the groundwork for transformative conversations that foster better relationships, leading to a community of loyal stakeholders.
When we lead with story, we build engaged teams, more loyal clients, and better communities.
Help your leaders communicate to connect, engage, and influence action. This workshop experience is tailored to encourage reflection and collaboration.
Who is this webinar for?
- Purpose-driven organizations who want to increase engagement with their stakeholders. (better fundraising, increased revenue)
- Organizations who want to give their people the skills to influence action and elevate their impact.
What value can I expect?
- When attendees are committed to applying what you’ve learned, you can put your new story and communication skills to work immediately.
- More effective communication with your teams, donors, and volunteers.
- Improved community-building skills.

YOUR GIFT AT WORK

Xitlali Cruz
I am currently pursuing a degree in Mechanical Engineering with a minor in Computer Science at Stanford. Since the beginning of my freshman year I have been involved with clubs such as Stanford’s Space Initiative (SSI) and the Society of Latinx Engineers (SOLE). In SSI I built a rocket and launched it.

Aero Methow Rescue Service
Due to being rural, remote, and geographically isolated, we must be prepared to do more than respond to emergencies. We have become a healthcare partner who fills gaps in service. The grant allowed our board the time and ability to work with a Strategic Planner to modify our plan to address those gaps.

Chelan Douglas Volunteer Attorney Services
The grant provided funds to hire a Housing Justice and Outreach Coordinator to visit rural and underserved areas. Rosie’s bilingual and bicultural skills and experience have increased equity of service. Rosie is building partnerships with local organizations through events such as the Columbia Valley Community Health’s Back to School Drive, as well as posting yard signs.

Tenoch Mandujano
My father was a migrant agricultural worker who eventually started his own cherry and apple orchard. He told me if I wanted to live a better life, I had to get an education. I plan on starting a career with the Chelan PUD with a passion for renewable energy and in turn give back to my parents and community for supporting my dreams.
