Free Webinar: How to Knock People’s Socks Off with Your Stories (Recording)

Since the beginning of time we’ve used storytelling to convey our experiences. The buzz, now, in the 21st century is for nonprofit organizations to share impact stories often and through every mode of communication possible. 

We’re all on such a race to talk about the people we serve that we’ve forgotten sharing a story is both an art and a science.

The result: A lot of  “reports” swirl around us every day. Few of what are referred to as stories actually compel the listener or reader to take any action. And most often they simply don’t inspire. The readers attention wanders and they are likely wondering if the person being talked about is more interesting than the words being shared.

During this webinar recording Master Storyteller, Lori L. Jacobwith,  will share four storytelling transformations in four different formats: Website, enewsletter, email and appeal letter.

Lori will show how and why she edited these stories so they increased engagement and raised MORE money from individual donors.

 You’ll Learn:

• What makes a story a story.
• The difference between utilitarian language and inspiring language
• The six step process to create a powerful and engaging story.
• How to cause your reader to feel as though you are talking to them.
