- 38. Places intended for people • Successful places attract people, and encourage them to linger and return • The more diverse the activities on offer, the more people will come • But people want to feel safe, comfortable & not be overwhelmed by traffic or the scale of the environment WHY Place Matters
- 39. Well connected & permeable places • Successful places allow people to move in & through them easily, especially on foot or bicycle • They have meeting places and stopping places • Places that are better connected and easily accessible attract more trade & are more lively WHY Place Matters
- 40. Places of mixed use & varied density • Towns traditionally grew & developed as a patchwork of mixed activities & uses • But, until recently, developers and planners have preferred to separate out activities & uses • Mixing up uses within any building, street or area brings variety and vitality to places. What should be the limits to this? WHY Place Matters
- 41. Sustainable, resilient & robust places • Sustainable design means creating places that last for generations & reduce climate change • Places that are resilient ‘bounce back’ from unexpected change • Places that are robust are flexible enough to modified without excessive disruption WHY Place Matters

- So what is public narrative? Skill: something we can learn to do – and learn to do better and better. Like any skill it is something that we get better at with practice. Motivate: we can have the best strategy in the world but if people won’t join us then it is useless. Join: this is about enabling collective action – not action that we take singly but together. Action: public narrative is intentional – not using stories because they are funny or tragic or to add flair to a speech. This is about using the power of storytelling to enable real action in the world.
- The argument of this workshop is that the effective use of narrative is itself a leadership skill. And we’ll come back and look in much more detail about why that might be. But first I just want to pause on that word ‘leadership’. The kind of leadership I’m talking about is described on the slide. This is not the kind of leadership that says “look at me” or “do what I say”. This is not about being the single bright star in the sky. This is the kind of leadership that seeks to enable others to join together to take action. But not action when the outcome is certain. Action in the face of uncertainty. How many campaigns have you been involved in when the outcome was certain? Particularly about things that really matter to you? Almost never.
- So let’s look at why STORIES might have something to offer in motivating others to join us in action. To do this let’s think for a moment about the different ways we understand the world around us, the challenges we face and the action we might take. Psychologists tell us that we are capable of understanding the world in two distinct ways – the HEAD mode and the HEART mode. The head mode helps us with strategy and analysis. It helps us to answer HOW questions. How we should run a campaign or how we can maximise turn out at an election? Leadership obviously requires these skills. But don’t we often act as if this is the only way of understanding the world around us? When we are trying to seek support don’t we act as if only we could find the right argument or piece of evidence surely others would come around to our way of thinking? One of the reasons why this often fails is because is misses out the second way we have of looking at the world – the heart mode. The heart mode helps us to understand the world in completely different way. In terms of whether things are good or bad for us, hopeful or depressing, attractive or repulsive. The heart mode helps us to answer the WHY questions. Why should I care about this injustice or why should I vote for this candidate? As we’ll explore further during this workshop this is the domain of story rather than strategy. Effective leadership requires both these modes – the head and the heart in order to move the hands – that is to move others to action. The heart mode helps us to understand what we value – but how does this help us to move people to action?
- Of course we know that all of us will exist on an emotional range from despair to hope. If I ask you to make a difficult choice to join me in action when you are feeling despair – how do you think you are likely to respond? [Answer – higher levels of anxiety, less likely to say yes.] There are emotions that inhibit us from taking mindful action – ACTION INHIBITORS and, there are emotions that enable us to take mindful action – ACTION MOTIVATORS Apathy – Anger: if the people you are hoping to move action are feeling apathetic you need to give them the experience of FEELING outrage to provide the emotional information they need to enable them to make the choice to join you. Isolation – Solidarity: If the people you are hoping to move to action are feeling isolated you need to to give them the experience of FEELING their connectedness with others to enable them to make the choice to join you. When we are developing our public narrative we are seeking to draw upon those emotions that motivate us in order to help overcome the motions that most often inhibit us from taking action.
- So what is public narrative? Skill: something we can learn to do – and learn to do better and better. Like any skill it is something that we get better at with practice. Motivate: we can have the best strategy in the world but if people won’t join us then it is useless. Join: this is about enabling collective action – not action that we take singly but together. Action: public narrative is intentional – not using stories because they are funny or tragic or to add flair to a speech. This is about using the power of storytelling to enable real action in the world.
- This is the basic framework of public narrative – as you can see it has three elements. During this workshop you will learn to tell and link three distinct stories. Your story of self: a story of why you are called to leadership right here and now Your story of us: a story about your community and why they are called to take action with you Your story of now: a story about the action that needs to be taken now and the consequences of taking or not taking it
- Understanding the link between values, emotion and action is central to public narrative. The argument that I am making is that values inspire action through emotion. Let me say that again – values inspire action through emotion. Let’s think about that for a moment. Call to mind an injustice that you see in the world. What is it? How does it make you feel? Why do you feel that way? Because of the values that you hold. Our emotions provide a kind of information about what it is that we value. It turns out that people who are unable to feel emotion are also unable to make choices. This is especially important in public narrative because ultimately you will be asking people to MAKE A CHOICE to join you in action. Unless you can provide them with the emotional information they need they are unlikely to do so.
