Skill Practice Session – Story of Now

Skill Practice Session – Story of Now

If not now, when?

The world is facing unprecedented challenges, and more than ever, we need to tell stories that inspire hope and action. But how do we tell stories that resonate with people on a deep level and motivate them to take action?

The Story of Now is often seen as the most intuitive part of Public Narrative, but it can be tricky to bring alive moments of challenge that feel urgent and resonate for the collective “us.” And when the challenge is overwhelming and hope seems scarce, it can be even harder to offer a meaningful and strategic call to action.

That’s where our Skill Practice Session on Story of Now comes in.

This 90-minute skill practice session will help you strengthen your understanding of the craft, learn to identify the resources in the room, develop a unique story of now, and get coaching from experienced coaches in the network.
