My favorite quotes from Cook County
















“If you go in with real stories that happened, you are more likely to get the buy in.”

“Success stories will work with sustainability because it takes time to see how something works.”


"Storytelling as a tool helps us remember what we went trough."

“It is not just my story, it’s our story.”

"In public health we are not supposed talk about our successes, but if you make it a ‘we’ thing and the community has ownership, it brings about a sense of pride, motivation, energy and action."


"
Being in public health we like the statistics, but bring the personal back. The bridge for merging the two is the pivot - the bigger story... this tool is how we make it bigger."

"Any message that we have is laden with data, and this training showed us we need a new way of getting the message across. Storytelling changes the way we want to communicate this message - increase awareness through emotion... The training exceeded expectations."

“I think it was great overall; nice to hear how the story changes based on how you are going to use it - testimony vs. community engagement, for example.”
