Storytelling in Eight Easy Steps

According to our members, the best way to build real momentum in your disability strategy is to start with the lived experiences of your own people - and in order to do that you need to get them sharing their story.  While perfecting the art of storytelling can take a lifetime, it all starts with encouraging people to develop confidence in sharing their stories with an audience that feels right from family and friends, colleagues or network members.We've put together a quick template guide to Storytelling in Eight Easy Steps. We also run in-house courses for networks / resource groups or organisations who want to take their storytelling skills to the next level.Read more about our Purple Stories workshops.

All resources are free to our members.
