Why Tell Stories?
![Page 28: Advanced Storytelling: Why Talking About Money Helps You Raise More](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030305/587380d41a28ab272d8b4c8f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
We “THINK” in story.
Every decision we make is based on a story we tell ourselves.
If we don’t feel something we can’t make a decision

“Pleasure is the central motivator in our lives.
Our brain’s pleasure circuits are activated by acts of
charity.”*

What Storytelling is NotIt’s not about how well YOU “tell” the story. It’s about how much passion you convey and the picture you paint with your words.

Story or Report?
AFTER A BITTER DIVORCE, Margaret moved back to Arkansas from Texas. She came with her two children, aged 7 and 9, to be close to her family. Her circumstances left her in a financial bind, and her children needed physicals to get into school.Margaret turned to our clinic for her family’s medical needs. During the physicals, her son did not pass the vision screening. Margaret was relieved to learn she could bring him back in two weeks to see an optometrist and get a prescription for glasses paid for by the Star City LIONS club.Margaret is lucky -- she has a supportive family and has found work. She is also appreciative that her kids could be seen at our clinic. It makes getting started just a little easier.

Story Telling NOT
Fact Telling

Finding Powerful Stories• Open-ended questions. • Ask questions that gets “at” a story
but doesn’t feel like you are putting the person on the spot.
• The responsibility to “find” the story is yours. Ask more questions to glean the “nuggets” to build the story.

I Can’t (or don’t want to!) Do This!Comments from Others:
Just being honest. We are scared to death to tell people we have a funding gap of $225,000. We have NEVER talked about it before, we are worried that when we start telling people we have an $800k funding gap that they will think of us as a lost cause. How do we tell people we have a “funding gap” without scaring them away?
