Nonprofit Nation with Julia Campbell
Business:Non-Profit
Storytelling can be a huge struggle for nonprofits - especially when serving vulnerable populations and dealing with difficult-to-discuss topics, like end-of-life care. As nonprofit professionals, how do we start? Where do we get stories, if we are working on tough topics? How do we ensure that the stories are authentic and real, but don't exploit our clients?
This week I invited award-winning storytelling and nonprofit Executive Director Madison Gonzales to share how she does effective storytelling at her organization and in her consulting work. Madison is the Executive Director at Morning Light, Inc., an Indianapolis-based nonprofit that fosters community programs in Indiana for the terminally ill, seniors, families and the home-bound. She's also a National Public Speaker, Storyteller of the Year Award-Winner, Best-Selling Author of Dear Mirror, Events Manager, and Published Poet. As a storytelling coach and consultant, it is Madison's mission to empower others to share their stories for impact and income.
Here are some of the topics we discussed:
A Madison quotable: "In just having conversations and taking a genuine interest, you might be surprised how many people just want the chance to tell their story."
