Storytelling Tool

Liz Ngonzi Transforms Activity: Craft Your Story

This is a storytelling activity in which I would like you to apply the storytelling development process that I covered in my talk.

The Liz Ngonzi Transforms Storytelling Tool

Step 1 - PROBLEM | WHAT you solve for your stakeholder
Step 2 - SOLUTION | HOW you uniquely solve your stakeholder's problem
Step 3 - IMPACT | WHY your solution matters to your stakeholder and their stakeholders
Step 3 - ASK | WHAT YOU WANT your stakeholder to do as a result of hearing/reading your story
Your Sample Stakeholders Donors, Clients, Employers, Members, Employees or Partners

    Your email address

    Imagine that you and one of your key stakeholders are the only two people left on a Zoom call and they ask you to tell them about yourself and your role. Below, please record the name of the stakeholder, or the kind of stakeholder, for whom you will be crafting your story in this activity. You will craft your answer using the story development steps in the following sections.

    Please record your name, organization and role below.

    Why Learning How to Tell Your Story Can Help You Align Your Purpose and Your Paycheck

    Over the last year of remote work, Zoom school, and simply trying to stay healthy, many of us have been wondering about our careers, and about whether our current job allows us to be the best version of ourselves – for ourselves, for our families, and for our communities.  Some of us have lost the jobs and titles that seemed to define us and are reflecting on career issues as a matter of necessity.  But the solitude and isolation that we all experienced has brought up, even for many whose careers seemingly remain on track, questions like “What is my purpose?” and “Could I earn a paycheck in a way that enables me to fulfil that purpose?”
