Stronger Stories

Our CEO Guy Pattison talking about harnessing the power of storytelling to tackle the climate crisis @BusinessGreen #NetZeroFestival: “While climate tragedy stories may grab headlines, they often halt action rather than mobilise. What we need are stories of transformation – quests and rebirths that show change is both possible and desirable, turning frozen spectators into active participants."

Visiting @BusinessGreen’s #NetZeroFestival tomorrow? Check out our CEO Guy Pattison as part of a panel on harnessing the power of storytelling to tackle the climate crisis - 9:30 to 10:15 on the Inspiration Stage.

Excited that @aphiegover Story & Community @StrongerStories will be attending @BCorpUK @BCorporation’s Louder Than Words festival in Oxford tomorrow and Wednesday. If you’d like to find out how a stronger story can win the support you need to make change happen faster, seek him out.

Telling a stronger story about your innovation - be it in health, food, energy or education - requires you to take a few important shifts from communication-as-usual: 1. Make your customer the HERO of the story 2. Focus on THEIR challenges, not YOUR features 3. Position yourself as the MENTOR within their journey of change, and make your GIFTS clear By shifting the focus from what you can provide to what your customers need, you demonstrate a meaningful understand of them; building trust and authority in your ability to help. Diagnose the strength of your storytelling using the #LeanStoryCanvas: strongerstories.org/canvas/
