what is the HPCA Storytelling Community?
We humans use stories to make our universe meaningful.
Stories influence our thoughts, feelings, and actions.
Yet so often stories are left out of project and change management.
The HPCA Storytelling Community is a (free to join) group of enthusiasts, passionate about bringing people's real life stories into the heart of change management. This community wants to find, practice and share stories; and build the storytelling skills that can help more product, project, programme, and change management professionals do their job more effectively.
We host regular sessions with expert speakers as well as bespoke Sounding Board workshops for those who want to practice the stories they wish to use to create influence, connection and insight.
Join the community; listen, learn, and share.

In this interactive presentation, we will explore how to take interesting everyday experiences and turn them into stories that can be used with both groups and with individuals to foster new perspectives, behaviors, and responses to the challenges they face.
