Audience
Public Health Challenge That’s where success stories come in. Short, crisp narratives that don’t bog down the audience in details can bring the program to life in a way that more formal evaluation tools can’t. The key is to be ready with a prepared story at a moment’s notice. Whether program advocates have 10 seconds in an elevator or two pages in a grant application, they should have a stockpile of stories to draw from. These must be intentional—collected and written systematically by designated staff and with a specific audience in mind.
