So you took a Public Narrative workshop and found something powerful in the framework – but what’s next? How can you carry this craft into your life and bring it to your organization or community for even bigger impact? 

Become a Public Narrative Coach with us!

This August, LCN is offering our third annual training program for Public Narrative participants to become Public Narrative coaches. Public Narrative coaches play a crucial role in passing on the craft to organizations, activists, and leaders in workshops and trainings. Our goal is to cascade Public Narrative throughout values-based organizations to supercharge their change-making. We are aiming for a diverse global cohort who will use this craft to create impact in their organizations and communities. Are you in? 

“The program gave me an enhanced sense of calling in the work I’m doing, and offered technical skills, but also deeper faith in seeing myself as a coach and a global community of people who shared an incredible journey of growth, challenge, and hope.” – Dan Firth, UK, ‘22 course participant 

Over the course of 8 weeks, a cohort of 36 new coaches will train in the craft, content, and process of Public Narrative coaching. We will take a deep dive into the stories of Self, Us, and Now, and the specific strategies and skills associated with coaching each element. Participants will get over 20 hours of practice, in both large and small groups, to try on these skills and hone their craft. This will also be a powerful opportunity to develop one’s own stories in addition to coaching!

Are you willing to put in 4 hours a week for 8 weeks to up-skill your Public Narrative coaching this summer? JOIN US.

“I’m taking with me the pedagogy of discomfort – it’s ok to be uncomfortable and to hold space for people to feel discomfort and difficult emotions, to persist and support and guide with powerful questions and presence, to tease out and cultivate leadership in others. Public narrative can be a powerful tool of resistance just by simple practice of building deep relational trust, care and support.” – Marcella Brassett, Australia, ‘23 course participant 

The training will take place on Zoom:

• Dates: July 31 – September 28, 2024
• Timing: Wednesdays, 10am – 12pm EST
• Weekend Workshop Coaching: September 2024 (9/7-8 or 9/14-15))  between 8am – 5pm EST both days (you will actually get to coach or shadow coach a full Public Narrative workshop at Harvard via zoom!)
• One hour per week of small group work, scheduled at your convenience
• There will also be a Public Narrative primer workshop for participants who need to refresh their Public Narrative skills before the start of the coaching training. The Primer workshop will take place on Sat & Sun July 27-28, 2024  (8am – 3pm ET both days). View the primer workshop details from here

Anyone who has taken a Public Narrative workshop or course is eligible for this program. You must be available to attend all 8 sessions and the Harvard online weekend workshop.

Even if you’ve coached a few workshops or been a teaching fellow for the class, this is a great opportunity to further develop your coaching skills through new practices created for this program.
