In this brief instructional video, the speaker, positioned in a library’s local history collection, advises viewers to mine the history of their own organizations for compelling stories. He prompts the audience to consider foundational questions—when the organization began, who founded it, its core values, early activities, and whether those missions persist today. By uncovering these historical details, presenters can extract “gems” that serve as narrative carriers, making their points more relatable and memorable. The talk emphasizes that every organization has a rich past that can be leveraged for effective storytelling.
