Story Power @ Making Media Connections

STORY POWER (Wednesday, June 9- 9AM to 4PM)

“Thank you for offering this workshop! It’s something of an “advanced” course for those of us who are familiar with the techniques of media outreach, etc. but want to strengthen our story gathering, writing and speaking skills. Thanks again!” – Jane Lawicki, Rotary International

The most important tool you can have as a communicator is the power to captivate potential audiences with your organization’s story. Learn how to make your story not just another spiel about your organization but rather a powerful tool to captivate the media, potential funders and future members. Powerful storytelling is a necessity whether you are pitching to traditional or  online media.

Story Power is back by popular demand and taught by award-winning storyteller Susan O’Halloran.  Susan will empower you with the ability to captivate audiences and move them to action. Register Today!

Participants who take Story Power will gain an edge on their communications counterparts because you will:

  • Understand what makes a story uniquely compelling so it stands out from the hundreds of media pitches delivered daily
  • Know what kinds of stories the news media is looking for
  • Develop the beginnings to several story ideas for your organization to pitch to the media
  • Understand how to further promote your organization’s agenda through the use of language

The workshop is ideal for communicators with little experience or for those with some experience in communications that want to further develop their skills. Register Today!
