Every nonprofit professional is a storyteller. Make sure they're Stellar.
TRAINING AND COACHING
Most nonprofit professionals enter the field because they're passionate about a specific issue, not to be storytellers. Yet storytelling is central to every area of nonprofit work, from onboarding staff to soliciting donations.
Stellar transforms passionate professionals and nonprofit ambassadors into confident storytellers. Through our training programs, we teach people to identify compelling stories and deliver them with authenticity and impact in the workplace and community.
CHOOSE A TRAINING FOCUS
-
Your nonprofit's stories directly impact staff performance, client engagement, and fundraising and advocacy goals.
Host an in-person or virtual workshop for your team or attend our professional nonprofit trainings. Participants learn to:
Distinguish between good and great nonprofit stories
Extend the impact of a single story across multiple channels
Develop stories that respectfully reflect the communities
-
As experts in their field, nonprofit professionals can be too close to their stories. This can lead them to overwhelm audiences with too much information or misjudge what people already understand.
We provide individual and small group coaching program where professionals learn to:
Replace complex language and jargon with clear, compelling messages
Develop a natural, confident speaking style for presentations
Craft stories that motivate people and further organizational goals.
-
A nonprofit's sustainability and advocacy efforts rely on compelling stories from clients and supporters.
Participate in our speaker coaching program and learn how to:
Recruit diverse spokespeople
Help clients, volunteers, and donors present their stories with authenticity and confidence
Ensure ambassadors deliver inspiring remarks that lead to immediate results
Feature unforgettable speakers at your events.
EVENT PRODUCTION
Everyone at Stellar has worked for nonprofits. Sadly, we've attended too many events with underwhelming programs or speakers. Your mission is too important for audiences to lose interest.
We make sure your guests remain engaged and gain a deeper understanding of the issues connected to your mission. We produce and support events where every story moves audiences to pull out their wallets, sign up to volunteer, or become enthusiastic advocates.
