Is your organization looking to foster more meaningful relationships with your donors, clients, and or customers? Are you, as a leader, looking for ways in which your staff can more effectively, efficiently, and sustainably implement new programs or other organizational change?
Story is a powerful tool for leadership, fundraising, and other forms of persuasive communication. Sharing a story helps you to establish trust with your listener. Stories help explain complex issues, clarify values, and create meaning for listeners.
Certainly, you and your organization possess great stories about leadership and positive impact. But do you remember to share those stories? Did you hear them once…and now can’t recall all the details, so you refrain from retelling the story?
Thaler Pekar & Partners’ StorySharing™ programs assist leaders in finding, developing, and sharing powerful stories that help them raise funds, achieve policy goals, and move listeners to action.
And now, organizations are benefiting not only from having leadership, staff, customers, clients, board members, and volunteers ready and eager to share their stories – they are also benefitting from the web, email, and gala-ready promotional videos that are produced as a result of the StorySharing™ programs.
After participants identify their stories, attention is given to the attributes of good narrative and persuasive communication, and they receive coaching in both expanding and paring down their anecdotes for maximum impact. Then, Thaler Pekar & Partners films each participant sharing his or her story – and edits the footage and provides you with short, solid videos, ready to support your organization’s marketing, fundraising, policy, and knowledge sharing efforts.
What results is an effective and efficient investment of both time and money. Stories are elicited, perfected – and captured right then and there for immediate and future use.
Think, too, of the knowledge that is shared and the engagement that is fostered among the participants, across departments and stakeholders.
