In today’s online landscape, where privacy is a rare gem, nonprofits are grappling with a silent crisis: How do we showcase our impact in stories without exploiting our beneficiaries’ trauma?

If you’ve found yourself wondering…

  • How do I tell stories that do no harm, but still raise money?
  • How do I ask someone to share their story when they’re still going through trauma?
  • How do you draw the line between ethical, impactful storytelling and exploitation?

​

This interactive workshop is designed for you!

In this workshop you will:

  • Navigate Ethical Challenges - Gain practical strategies, like informed consent, to navigate storytelling blind spots while respecting the dignity and agency of beneficiaries.
  • Craft Compelling Narratives - Uncover secrets to share powerful stories authentically and effectively without putting beneficiaries through the wringer.
  • Build Trust and Empathy - Create safe spaces for beneficiaries, fostering cross-cultural connections to give your narratives that extra oomph.
  • Balance Sensitivity and Impact - Learn to talk about personal struggles without exploiting or re-traumatizing beneficiaries.
  • Develop Best Practice - The (PIC)²™ framework will guide you through every step of cultivating ethical narratives with integrity and inclusion.
