Storytelling for rebel world-changers

By their nature, stories are a collaboration – an intimate relationship between the subject, the teller and the audience. As fundraisers, the better we get at the craft of storytelling, the more likely it is we’ll all be able to mobilize, engage, excite, acquire, activate, ignite, inspire, retain and motivate our fellow change-makers around the world. Join us for an exploration of how we can transform the world and our fundraising through better stories in a fun, interactive and hands-on way.
