With the decline of traditional journalism, there’s an increased need for trusted information. This presents a huge opportunity to individuals, communities, companies and organizations. They can fill that void by telling their own multimedia stories and creating their own channels of distribution — thereby serving as trusted sources in their own right. That’s the “uprising” — people seizing control of communication by building ongoing credible connection through story and digital technology. Storyteller Uprising explains why this is now possible, and why you should harness the power of story in your own communication endeavors.
Author Hanson Hosein is also a well-recognized public speaker, who can energize your community with a look to the future -- that is here now.
He’s done it for the Adobe, The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Weber Shandwick, the Seattle Times, the U.S. Department of Energy, Minnesota’s Department of Education, the Public Relations Society of America and Boston University -- and he can do it for you.
Some testimonials from his presentations:

“...it was clear that your kick off exercise was absolutely key. It got us all to let down our defences. It levelled the field and made us feel vulnerable.
