Trust narratives: How to harness storytelling to support your strategy

How we tell our story as a trust is as important as the story itself. Compelling narratives can shape identity, build trust and align your community around a shared vision for success. This session will explore how harnessing the power of storytelling can support strategic objectives - from stakeholder engagement and growth to cultural cohesion and reputation management. Tiff and Nick will illustrate how a clear and consistent narrative is key to flourishing as a trust. You’ll have the opportunity to consider the how and why behind the stories you want to be telling, to achieve growth (in every sense as an organisation), strengthen reputations, and enhance stakeholder relationships.
