You have a story, and we’d like to help you tell it. We believe each of our members has interesting stories behind and about their business, the kind of things that motivate your clients and customers to choose to work with you. Often, when we get busy in our work, we forget about what others need to know, like why you care about your business, how you and your team work to bring your best every day and what your plans are to continue to improve and add value to each customer interaction.
In the last few months of 2020, we’re offering a unique opportunity for each member business to work with the Chamber and a team of local “storytellers,” to find your story and assist you in considering how to best share what is compelling.
Among those who will be working with us are Valerie Perry, Sydney Herdle and Richard Sayer. As we’ve learned that each of them (and there may be others) has been affected by the pandemic and it’s restrictions, they find themselves here in Venango County, all with a strong desire to get to know our region and our stories better.
WHAT IS THIS OPPORTUNITY?
We’re inviting you to meet with Chamber staff, followed by the opportunity to work with one of our “storytellers.” This may be the first time you’ve done anything like this or it may be a reminder to revisit the “why” of your business or organization.
WHY SHOULD I SIGN UP?
There is no cost to you, except your time. We simply want you to focus on your business for at least 30 minutes (meeting with us), with the option to tell your story better. We’ll give you tools for writing, video, and photography, and help you create content.
WHEN DOES IT START?
On Thursday, October 8, at 9AM, we’ll hold our first free webinar to share more about this project and introduce our storytellers. Weekly webinars will follow, open to all who want to continue learning more.
