Effective leadership involves persuading people to make changes. Because people are hard-wired to process complex information in the form of stories rather than lists of facts, effective leaders persuade through the telling of Compelling Stories. The most effective compelling stories follow a pattern which Don Ortner describes in this presentation.
OMG The Backfire Effect: How do we win when facts don't work?Brian Fitzgerald
An ignite presentation given at the E-Campaigning Forum in Oxford 2017 on a psychological quirk that every activist should know about. Includes a short reading list at the end on behavioural economics and persuasion science. We on the progressive left often express shock at how climate deniers can ignore science: we shouldn't ignore the science of persuasion when it tells us we're campaigning incorrectly.
As part of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers' service to members, engineers and professionals in technical industries worldwide, we host a series of free training webinars.
The slides were used in a free training webinar on Powerful Presentations. The webinar provides tips and techniques to structure and deliver presentations that have impact.
A few of us, frustrated with the lack of an overarching story at Greenpeace, set out to articulate one. Our rogue project ended up sketching the outlines not only of a story, but of a theory of change and a set of compass points for organisational transformation.

The Mobilisation Cookbook: A Greenpeace guide to cooking up people powered ca...MobLab
People powered movements are transforming the world—and our work. Today, nearly everyone has tools for change in the palm of their hand, which is reshaping how organisations like Greenpeace think and operate. Amidst rapid change we’ve often found ourselves talking about mobilisation and people power without a shared sense, a language, for what we mean.
Why do words like “engagement” ring through our offices as often as smartphones? What is “people power,” anyway? Most importantly, why should any of this matter to you and the people you work with?
The Mobilisation Cookbook is a guide to answer (almost) everything you wanted to know about “people powered” campaigns at Greenpeace but were afraid to ask. Developed for Greenpeace staff, volunteers, and allies, this guide will help anyone cook up effective people powered campaigns.
Zen stories are meant for reflections. There is no ending for any story, it is upto us to reflect and learn. Complex problem situations in life can be solved by using simple technique of story telling.

A Power Point Presentation of a few Moral Stories for the young. Can also be used as motivational English Lessons. For animation effects please download.
One day, when a Lion was asleep, a little Mouse began running up and down upon him, this soon wakened the Lion, who placed his huge paw upon him, and opened his big jaws to swallow him. The Lion was so tickled at the idea of the Mouse being able to help him, that he lifted up his paw and let him go. Some time after the Lion was caught in a trap, and the hunters who desired to carry him alive to the King, tied him to a tree while they went in search of a waggon to carry him on. Just then the little Mouse happened to pass by, and seeing the sad plight in which the Lion was. The mouse went up to him and soon gnawed away the ropes that bound the King of the Beasts. "Was I not right?" said the little Mouse.
Influencing change through presentationsTravis Isaacs
The ability to craft (and deliver) a good presentation should be in the quiver of every designer, right along side their Moleskine and Micron pens.
I use presentations to unravel a vague idea or requirement to be sure I completely understand all of the facets and details. If I can’t clearly explain a topic or idea then I need to go back to the project stakeholder and regroup. In some cases this will uncover holes that need to be address even before I start sketching out a wire frame.
The 7 Shifts were developed by Tommy Crawford, Brian Fitzgerald, Amrekha Sharma, and Iris Maertens to help frame a change agenda for Greenpeace International. They were derived from a series of workshops worldwide that articulated Greenpeace's overarching story and posed the question: "What would be different about the organisation that truly lived that story from the organisation of today?"
Tommy and Brian now help other beautiful troublemakers articulate their stories and their shifts through their creative agency, Dancing Fox.

Reality Is Relative - The practicalities of designing for anyone besides your...Lauren Serota
Fire engine red.
If you can picture this, you’ve been exposed, at some point in your life, to a fire engine. Now, imagine you hadn’t.
The shape of each person’s reality is determined by her individual experiences. This perspective determines what we do and don’t do, what is familiar or frightening, and how we engage with the world around us. Modern designers are expert in empathy; the danger of empathy alone is its dissolution of difference. Appropriately designed products, services, and policies come from acknowledging the unique and distinctive realities of others. Lauren will be sharing stories and frameworks on how she has reconciled these complexities of seeing in a variety of projects—from designing financial services for the rural poor in Myanmar to building strategies for corporate collaboration in Australia.

19. Some Key Facts Our brains work on the basis of MODELS not raw fact Our brains are hardwired to create Mental Maps of our world When emotionally stressed, the limbic system takes over – causing us to work off our mental maps and often by-passing cognition We are hardwired to process the world in the context of stories
21. Peter Drucker Business has only one fundamental goal: Create Customers To do this, business has only two key activities: Marketing & Innovation
22. Innovation Implementation of all significant innovation requires a project Companies which believe innovation creates a competitive advantage must develop project management capabilities To really solve a medical problem, and get to the people who need it, you cannot do it all alone. To produce a product of real value, it takes the combined, committed and organized efforts of people with a range of skills and talents.. The Medical Device R&D Handbook by Theodore R. Kucklick
28. Change Requires Persuasion New ideas and innovations always encounter resistance Implementing new ideas requires supporters Leonard Bernstein How Much Music Does a Conductor Make?
30. Persuasion Requires a New Story Not just a story – a COMPELLING Story “We” oriented Positive and respectful Relatively simple Recognizes the past and common heritage Defines a reason to change Frames a new belief based on common understanding Creates a picture of the future
31. Components of Compelling Story Situation: Where are we now and how did we get here? Gap: What is needed that we do not have? Solution: How will we fill the gap? Definition of success: What does the world look like when we are done?
32. Great LeaderGreat Story Teller Donald Phillips in Lincoln on Leadership Lincoln’s Story Telling (and story creation) foundation to his success as a leader Created New Stories which became part of the fabric of American Life
33. Gettysburg Address – Where we are & how we got here: Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war; testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
34. Gettysburg Address – The problem But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate – we can not consecrate – we can not hallow– this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished workwhich they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced.
35. Gettysburg Address- The solution It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us – that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion– that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain–
36. Gettysburg Address – The Future State That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom – and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
37. Lincoln Created a New Mental Map We’re in this together It’s a great cause BUT – It’s not done yet We’ll renew the freedom given us by our fore-fathers Government of the people, by the people, for the people

40. It’s 1870. New York (Manhattan Island) is a major metropolis. Getting across the East River to Brooklyn and Long Island requires a ferry. Wouldn’t it be great if . . . We could build a bridge the Island?
41. Once Upon A Time . . . Start with where we are and how we got here . . .
42. Childs Play and a Toy Story Full length animations have captured the hearts of millions. Disney has always been the standard in this area.

Disney & Pixar Collaboration to produce Toy Story

45. Situation We have grown together such that San Francisco is now a major and successful city to be proud of.
