Colette Ellis of InStep Consulting for Nonprofit Central and Craig’s List Foundation recorded the 18-minute podcast, Once Upon a Time: Create Stories to Engage Your Supporters. It provides tips for nonprofit leaders to create engaging stories that will motivate potential supporters and volunteers (including a model for writing the story). While it is geared toward public-sector organizations, other business leaders may also benefit from the ideas and suggestions.

Kathy, thanks for the link to my podcast on storytelling! The idea came as a result of my work with public librarians -- natural storytellers! -- helping them raise funds for technology. I do think that storytelling is crucial to career development. One should be able to "create a buzz" about one's accomplishments. Great blog, BTW!
