CRAFTING YOUR NARRATIVE

To start this chapter, let’s pause for a second and review what you’ve already learned. In these first five chapters, you’ve come to recognize the inherent worth of your story as that of a human on the planet, you’ve explored the values you’ve honed throughout your life, you’ve articulated your message, and you’ve identified the audience for that message, however large or small. Great! It’s time to put it all together.

The question remains, “How do I tell my story in a way that will move others to act and make real impact on the world?” This chapter provides a simple process to translate your values and stories into motivation and action for your audience (of one or one thousand) every time you share it.

Our work at the Million Person Project is centered around a specific technique called Public Narrative, which was codified by Marshall Ganz. He is a longtime organizer who started his career in the South during the civil rights movement and worked alongside Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta for many years on farmworkers’ rights in California. He now teaches Organizing and Public Narrative at the Harvard Kennedy School. Marshall developed this storytelling technique to enable leaders to translate their values into action.
