The big takeaway for me from the Creating a Culture of Storytelling session at NTC was that organizations can very easily do more to tell their stories, and this act alone could be the most important thing nonprofits do to gain donors, supporters, and relevance. If nothing else, a story should have heart; authenticity means everything.
