To recruit people to your cause, you're gonna need to communicate your ideas effectively. Compelling stories can help you do this. You can create a compelling story arc. You can recruit people to your cause, and advocate successfully for the change that you're trying to make. Here's a structure that I wanna recommend you use when you're advocating for change. Intro, problem, solution, urgency, action. Let your communication follow this model and you'll be more successful. Here's an example. Start with an introduction. Say hi, I'm Bob. I'm a small church pastor, tell me who you are, and what you're about. Then the problem, here's our problem. Our chairs in our parish hall are busted. They're broken. They're covered with mold, and see the fabric is ripped off of that one. There's no real place to sit. It's really difficult for us to have meetings and accomplish anything. We don't have the furniture for it. Here's a solution, we buy new chairs. This will be really valuable for us. When we're having meetings, people won't be distracted by worrying about the thing they're sitting on. They can focus on the task at hand and we can create more compelling programming because we're able to focus in our meetings. This is really urgent right now because our congregation is growing. Take a look at this picture of how many people showed up for church on Sunday. We're bigger. We're growing. We need to create programming and have effective meetings to accomplish the goals and the mission of our church. The action I want you to take is put money in the collection plate at Sunday's service this Sunday. That money we'll use to buy the chairs and solve our problem. I'm a big fan of this book Made to Stick. Its about telling stories and advocating for your cause so that your idea will survive and thrive. We'll talk more about that book in the future but for now remember this structure intro, problem, solution, urgency, action. And the book Made to Stick I referenced as well.
