Economic developers have been urged to hone their storytelling skills for years.In Indianapolis, the Chamber is reaching out to crowdsource stories from throughout the region as part of the INDY: I’m Not Done Yet campaign. The creator-submitted videos will be featured on April 27, National Tell a Story Day, at the Story Summit. INDY: I’m Not Done Yet is an initiative that lives inside Life in Indy , a portal highlighting resources for people and for employers. The site includes links to about 35 local influencers at all stages of their lives and careers who are profiled and open to conversation.
This effort stands out to me for the breadth of voices that are included and that are being actively sought out, building not just content but connection and community.
