Ethical Storytelling Workshop
Creating impactful and responsible
stories to move your organization’s mission.
Does your organization want to do a better job of finding, telling and sharing the stories of the people you serve in a respectful, responsible and ethical way? My colleague Lokyee Au and I have co-created a whole workshop dedicated to it called “Ethical Storytelling.” We’ve been offering it to current clients, but are now opening it up to other interested organizations. Program/client service, development, communications, and leadership teams can all benefit from this workshop!
A preview of what to expect…
10 things to do when gathering a story:
Interviewees are the hero of the story; not the organization
Compensate people with lived experience - Gift cards or cash
Let subjects tell their story and share as little or as much as they want
Understand power dynamics of asking program participants about their story
Get written consent to capture and share story
Be clear about where the story will be used and for what purpose
Follow up with interviewees to make sure you captured the story accurately, share final story, remind how stories will be used
