Storytelling for Good
September 27 | 28 | 29
Humans have been telling stories since the beginning of time and, as it turns out, some of these stories were critical to keeping us safe and healthy. We’re hard-wired to learn from and retell stories. This workshop will help you to deliberately select and craft stories that advance your cause. It is useful to anyone – from volunteers to professional service providers. Learn more about the power of stories to reach the hearts and minds of our audiences and build community resilience.
Ethos Strategy Group is offering three storytelling workshops as part of preparations in Metro Vancouver for Homelessness Action Week 2011 (Oct 10 – 16).
This workshop is free but pre-registration is required. You are welcome to circulate this invitation to your colleagues.

We’re very pleased to announce that Ethos Strategy Group is once again presenting internationally recognized speaker and public interest communications expert, Andy Goodman.
Please join us for Andy’s presentation The Four Connecting Points and learn more about:
- framing and strategic communications,
- message creation and delivery,
- classic case studies from the public interest sector, and
- a new tool for campaign design.
Andy is the author of Storytelling as Best Practice and Why Bad Presentations Happen to Good Causes. Come see why Al Gore selected him to train 1,000 volunteers to deliver presentations about global warming around the world.

Here are a few comments from participants who attended Andy Goodman’s 2008 workshop in Vancouver:
“I attended Andy Goodman’s workshop on Storytelling as Best Practice a few years ago and left the room inspired and motivated. Andy is an engaging and clear communicator. I’m looking forward to his return to Vancouver on Feb. 23. Thank you, Ethos Strategy Group, for bringing in people like Andy to help strengthen public interest organizations.”

United Way of the Lower Mainland“Andy Goodman’s workshop was insightful, compelling and best of all, applicable. As an environmental non-profit we have lots of stories to tell – Andy helped us find our voice, tell our stories and connect to our members.”
Gwen Barlee

Wilderness Committee“I found Andy Goodman’s last presentation to be refreshing, practical, and applicable to my everyday practice. I was able to immediately apply his strategies in my direct work with clients and overall business operations. His presentation style is like no other that I have seen; I didn’t want the day to end.”
