About the Story of Home
Lunch included
HFH of Colorado will host a one-day training in conjunction with the annual Legislative Event on Wednesday, February 22.  The event will bring together affiliate staff, board members and homeowners to learn about the power of storytelling.  People love stories. More importantly, stories engage emotion which prompts people to respond and take action.  In this program, Ty Bennett teaches the art of storytelling as a key communication and engagement strategy. He provides attendees with the mindset, skill set and toolset to connect effectively through storytelling.

About the Legislative Reception
Wine, beer and appetizers included
Put your yarn-spinning skills to good use as we engage our elected officials over a beer!  This informal reception takes the place of HFHC’s annual luncheon.  Homeowners, staff and volunteers will be on hand to tell the story of home and connect the dots for our legislators through narratives about education, health, and public infrastructure.  This is a great opportunity to connect one-on-one with your representatives and share your passion for affordable homeownership and our vision for Colorado.

Ty’s best-selling books – The Power of Influence: Increase Your Income and Personal Impact and The Power of Storytelling: The Art of Influential Communication - are used in graduate courses at multiple universities including MIT, as today’s version of “How to Win Friends and Influence People.”

“I heard a great speaker named Ty Bennett who has written a book called The Power of Storytelling: The Art of Influential Communication.  I consider myself a pretty good storyteller when it comes to Habitat but I learned a ton of stuff that I think is applicable to everyone in the Habitat family.  He would be a fabulous Keynote speaker. He spoke for 2 hours at the event and I could have listened to him for another two.”
- John Lovell, Director of Development for Habitat for Humanity of the St. Vrain Valley
