Innovation to Impact
I love the process of taking something old and evolving it into something new. Thats what It’s Our Story is all about. We are taking an ancient Native American process of conflict resolution and making it new again by producing a digital Story Stick. Imagine the power our 1,300 and growing voices have to impact the Social Networks.
Today’s technology allows our recorded 20,000 responses to over 300 questions to become 100,000 responses in a very short time. It’s now possible for people to listen to a response to a question and upload their answers to a question our disability community seek answers to.
This is an exciting brave new world of communication we are living in. By embracing the available technology, we learn to lead in imaginative, innovative, and modern ways. Ways that are relevant to our next generation of leaders desires of evolving policy, society, and employment opportunities for people with disabilities.
Digital Story Stick Seminars
These feathered sticks of woven leather, beads and trinkets were used to peacefully resolve conflicts through story. It’s Our Story is taking this value and applying it to the way we present the story of disability to the world via the Internet. Please inquire about our solutions to lead your organization into the future using the power of digital story-telling, literacy, and social networks.

We are proud to provide your organization, conference, or event a three-hour hands-on “How to Make a Story Stick” Seminars. All of our training’s are built upon “Train the Trainer” methods that enable attendees the skill to produce their own Story Stick and to teach others to do the same.
