Sharing Your PFLAG Story to Create Change

Knowing how to shape and effectively tell our PFLAG stories to create real and lasting change is a skill that separates the talkers from activists and advocates. This highly interactive – 75 minute – session will encourage participants to pick a personal experience and develop it into an engaging, must-hear narrative that can help change hearts and minds in our communities, statehouses, and more.

In this session, we will:

  • Discuss how and why personal stories are so effective in creating transformative change
     
  • Review the Story Arc Model and use PFLAG National’s storytelling workbook to identify, develop, and refine our personal stories
     
  • Better understand the everchanging relationship we have with our stories and our audience over time
     
  • Fine-tune our storytelling and public speaking skills and learn strategies to calm our nerves
     
  • Consider a new way to provide feedback to others when we are preparing to share our stories as a part of public speaking events or in meetings with elected officials

We’ll also reserve time for participants to share their stories and get peer feedback!
