You understand the value of better stories and better language, but you may not have the support and resources you need to engage in this work long-term. This workshop will help you identify your specific needs in terms of resources, skills and support, as well as the people who control those resources.
You’ll learn how to articulate the concrete benefits of different approaches to storytelling and make specific requests of colleagues and leaders who can help - enabling you to bolster your own foundation’s story while contributing to the larger narrative of philanthropy’s value to society.
Join us as we explore how to demonstrate the benefits of more dynamic storytelling and discover how to make a compelling case for new approaches and ideas using cutting-edge social, behavioral, and cognitive science.
This session is one of three workshops in the Better Stories, Better Language Communication Workshop Series, a collaboration between the University of Florida's Center for Public Interest Communications and the Council on Foundations. These three workshops will offer you the skills and tools to tell more complex, robust stories about the charitable sector and your work. You'll learn how to create a more accurate narrative and build trust through transparent storytelling and intentional language.
