WHAT IS
Narrative 4 change?
Narrative4Change uses a Theory of Change Framework, combined with specially designed narrative-based processes in order to create deep and meaningful change within organisations, communities and individuals.
The technique is developed by Katrice Horsley in response to the gap she identified in traditional training techniques, that often provide facts without engaging emotions or providing meaning to those involved. This results in people feeling they cannot use what they have heard as it does not apply to them in their work or personal lives.
We now know that storytelling can be a powerful tool in change and development, producing a range of chemical reactions in the brain that create emotions such as trust, joy, and excitement as well as fear and anxiety.
With Narrative4Change people are able to map out visions and aspirations, sense how they will feel when they accomplish them and then design and develop the journey they need to take in order to achieve them.
If you wish to create powerful, impactful and meaningful change this is the system to use.

Her passion for her work is infectious and after delivering at a range of conferences, the words most often used to describe her are ‘inspiring,’ and ‘passionate.’
