Stories are powerful.
How to tell great
Stories for change

B U I L D I N G B L O C K S O F A S T O R Y
Stories should contain a
single, compelling character
that is relatable to the
audience and who is
comfortable relaying
specific details, memories
and experiences.
An Effective
Character
Stories should show—rather
than tell—the audience about
the character’s transformation,
using rich details and featuring
the character’s own voice,
without jargon.
Stories should chronicle
something that happens—an
experience, a journey, a
transformation, a discovery.
Stories should convey
emotions that move people
to act, and marry these with
clear, easy-to-find pathways
to get them to those
desired actions.
