Public narrative is a leadership practice that enables people to act on shared values and join together in collective action. By telling our story of self, story of us, and story of now, we can articulate the origins of why “I” care (who am I), why “we” care (who are we as a community), and why “now” (urgency), and motivate people to join us.

Story of self: What is Mariana’s value? What childhood story does she tell to communicate it?

Story of us: How does Mariana know that she shares that value with others in the room? What specific moments does she illustrate so we can experience them?

Story of now: What action is Mariana asking the audience to join? How does that connect to the shared value?
