🎟 Over 3,000 people have signed up for the 2023 #SCVOGathering that's taking place on 7th and 8th November at the EICC in Edinburgh. Lots of sessions are fully booked, but there's still time to sign-up. Here's my pick of some of the free sessions ⤵️

Looking forward to catching up, meeting folk, hearing stories and learning new things at #SCVOGathering. Why not join me to consider how you find, tell and share your stories on Wednesday at 11am on Storytelling To Connect And Inspire. See you there!

Loving this storytelling session from Ishbel Smith 💜 and not just because she had a Taylor Swift slide but because she started off by encouraging us to talk about what we love about where we work. #SCVOGathering

Really engaging session from Ishbel Smith 💜 on storytelling for charities! Lots taken away to think about how we share the stories of the women we support at Financially Included 💜 #SCVOGathering

Thanks to Ishbel at Ishbel Smith 💜 for a really interesting and thought-provoking session! #SCVOGathering

Just attended a wonderful session on how we can improve and reflect on our storytelling, from Ishbel Smith 💜! Learning about the story formula and how best to amplify and platform our sector’s stories! 🗣️❤️ This will come in handy for our podcast and video plans! 🎞️🎙️

Thanks to everyone who came along and shared their tales and insights. Do stay in touch - I do love a chat and story ❤️❤️#SCVOgathering #storiesmatter

Session 2, "Storytelling to connect and inspire" with Ishbel Smith 💜 was really excellent with a mix of inspirational examples of storytelling being put to use and practical advice on understanding and telling stories within your organisation

At #TheGathering today, representing The House of Hope Scotland with Founder, Lisa Fleming. We’re one of Scotland’s newest charities, so it was a great way to connect with sector. Lots of interesting speakers. My fave was Ishbel Smith 💜 session on process of storytelling. SCVO

Are you tuning into the Gathering Extra? Delighted to say that my talk on Storytelling to Connect and Inspire is part of the goodybag of events you get when you join in. I'm looking forward to seeing who else is in the bag with me ;-)

One of the joys of being a facilitator is to accompany teams as they discuss what it is to connect, communicate and care together. It was my privilege to hold space for the fab members of the board of Who Cares? Scotland this weekend and so nice to get such lovely feedback today. ❤️

The thing about stories is that they are true. This may not be a real TV show, but its an absolutely factual tale. What do you know about human rights and how they are being lived here in the UK? Well done to Amnesty UK for telling this story. #humanrightsmatter #beforeoureyes

Brilliant to spend a day facilitating with this fabulous team CYCJ Scotland who gave themselves some time and space to start planning how they move forward together - and celebrate who they are and what they have done so far. Thanks for inviting me along! #StarTeam

It’s been my privilege to help tell the Harmeny Education Trust story over the last 4 years. This article frames the story so well - how can others learn about how to nourish and nurture young people who have been impacted by trauma in their lives? #traumainformed #traumaresponsive
