CIT
CT, USSubjects meaningful to you become meaningful to more people. Inspire action, connection & belonging. Foster full inclusion. Interpretive storytelling that sticks long after your listeners leave you.
If you have something that matters to you, that you want to matter to more people, you want sticky stories that elevate your information into relevant, relatable experiences that people keep thinking about long after they leave you.
To create connection, for your subject to matter to your listening, you need storytelling that will meet your listeners where they are at and inspire them to take steps in the direction you want them to go.
Interpretive stories do this. Once I discovered this powerful storytelling toolkit, I used it in everything from museum work to corporate change management to over the road travel guiding to university teaching. It works, people remember, they keep coming back.
This moment we are living through is full of change, new social needs, new awareness about justice, equity, inclusion and belonging. New voices are there to be heard, new stories that lend complexity and authenticity to the fabric of our communities, businesses and lives. But new stories can be uncomfortable – both to tell and to hear. While I love delivering talks and trainings that make all stories engaging and sticky, my passion is to use the work to help clients create brave, bold new storytelling that keeps people in the conversation because that’s the only way that transformation can happen.
