Do you gravitate towards statistics over storytelling in your social impact communications? 

You’re not alone – in a Stanford study, students were asked to prepare a 1 minute speech about crime. Students used an average of 3 statistics in their 1 minute speech, but only 1 in 10 students told a story. 

Just 10 minutes later, only 5% of people remembered the data shared.  However, 63% of attendees remembered the stories. 

In this episode, we're going to explore the why, when, and where of using storytelling in your social impact communications to drive your mission forward.  

We discuss:
[01:17] Why storytelling is important
[06:28] When to use storytelling as an advocacy tool
[11:03] The 3 stories to have and share as a changemaker
[14:16] Where to share your stories to drive your mission forward
