🎉 #Day1 of 50 | #StorytellingJourney | #HappyBirthdayToMe 🎂 Today, I turn 28 years old and I'm celebrating by setting myself a unique challenge! 🚀 Over the past few years, I have become so passionate (borderline obsessed) with the art and science of storytelling. I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to travel up and down the country teaching storytelling for business and the profound impact stories have on our emotions, beliefs, and decision making. 📚✨ I know storytelling has boundless potential to unlock opportunities, foster connections, and inspire change. I have seen it in my friendships and business and even used it to win investment of over £100k for my social enterprise . I'm on a journey to explore every bit of it and share this amazing skill with the world! 🌟 Despite its transformative power, it is such an unexplored skill and I’m on a mission to change that. I envision in the future, I will be on big stages sharing these strategies and techniques, but until then, I will share what I know with you here. The challenge: I’m committing to posting every day for the next 50 days. I will share daily insights on everything I know about how storytelling can unlock opportunities for you including tips and challenges for yourself to try out. I will also set myself challenges to get out of my comfort zone and share any results I get too! 🌈🔥 I know I have this amazing passion but I'm not quite sure what I want to do with it so I invite you to watch this space and join me on this adventure as i figure it out. 🙌 Your support, feedback, and even challenges are welcome. Let’s explore the limitless power of storytelling together. #Storytellingforchange #Challengeaccepted #Characterarc #storytellingskills #storytellingchallenge #storytellingstrategies #storytellingforbusiness #storytellingeducator #storytellingspeaker

Happy #internationalwomensday2024 !! Yesterday the Bruin team combined our Monthly Culture Day with celebrating women who have changed the world, as well as women we are personally inspired by. We took part in an online quiz - well done to our winner Kirsty Pineger who won a hamper from Social Stories Club filled with goodies from suppliers / initiatives that support women and girls. Shout out to 9kitchens Catering Ltd who provided an amazing lunch! They are a social enterprise that provides training, employment & education for underprivileged women from minority ethnic backgrounds. Thank you to Kirstin Duffy and Caitlin Gardner who held an inspirational "Women's Circle" internally, creating a safe space to talk, get to know each other better over tea and cake, and we even did some journaling! Today is about celebrating all the amazing women in your life and around the world, their achievements and building each other up. It's also a reminder of how we can do better, raising awareness around discrimination and taking action to drive gender parity. Who inspires you??? #inspireinclusion #internationalwomensday #recruitmentindustry

Happy International Women's Day! 🎉 Our founder has some very exciting news! Read Karis Gill's story ⬇️

The story of how everyone can make a positive impact 🎉 I have been working on Social Stories Club for almost seven years now. We spent the first two years, researching, hustling, and receiving rejection after rejection. I am so grateful to Aayush Goyal that we never gave in. I still remember our first corporate order, we were so delighted. It was from PwC for an event in London. This was back when I was hand printing all our boxes! That order was a game changer for us- someone believed in us! ❤️ I remember hand stamping all the boxes on my 23rd birthday and feeling so excited..... and relieved! PwC have been the biggest support over the last five years to so many social enterprises and we are so grateful. Last night PWC invited me to speak at their event in Glasgow. It was such a pleasure to share the stage with fellow social entrepreneur Bayile Adeoti FRSA who is incredibly inspiring. Bayile spoke about her journey, her inspirations and challenges she had faced. I spoke about how storytelling had been a transformational tool for us. The room was full of EAs and PAs who create such a big social impact. These incredible people champion and prioritize social enterprises wherever they can and don't realise the transformational effect this collective effort has for companies like ours- thank you! You may be in charge of gifting at your company, organizing catering, DJs or goody bags - there is a social enterprise alternative for all of these 🎉 It was amazing meeting everyone last night and making new friends! Please keep in touch 😃🎉 A special thank you to the incredible Jackie Weldon FEPAA for organizing this fantastic event! If you need an incredibly enthusiastic guest speaker for your event, reach out to me! I love talking about storytelling and social enterprise 😃 #PositiveImpact #SocialEntrepreneurship #SustainableGifts #CorporateResponsibility #GratitudeJourney #BusinessForGood #ImpactfulStorytelling #SocialInnovation #PioneeringChange #CommunitySupport #SocialStoriesClub #EventHighlights #NetworkingSuccess #SocialEnterpriseGrowth #InspirationalEntrepreneurs #ThankYouPwC #GratefulEveryStep #GiftsWithPurpose #SustainableOptions #EnterpriseWithImpact #ChangeMakersUnite #PowerOfPersistence #CelebratingSuccess #SocialImpactEvent #TransformationalChange #KeepInTouch #EventfulEvening #SocialEnterpriseAlternatives #MakingADifferenceTogether #ConnectCreateCelebrate

I have a huge favour to ask 🤩 We are very excited that Aayush Goyal is up for an award! 🎉 If you are a student, alumni, or staff member at The University of Edinburgh - please can you vote for Aayush? (I have put the link in the comments!)💕 For those of you who know Aayush you will know how hard he works at his social enterprise Social Stories Club and how much he cares about the team, impact and customers. For those of you who don't know Aayush, over the last six years he has dedicated his life to creating a social impact and has introduced over 1 million people to social enterprise through sustainable gifts, provided 6500 hours of employment to individuals with barriers to employment and is on a mission to spread the word about the amazing social enterprises around the UK and beyond. We started Social Stories Club when we were 21 years old in our 4th year of university with an enormous amount of help from Edinburgh Innovations. Aayush is a behind the scenes kind of guy and absolutely deserves recognition 😍 Thank you so much in advance 🎉 #AayushGoyal #UniversityOfEdinburgh #VoteForAayush #SocialImpact #SocialStoriesClub #EdinburghInnovations #SupportSocialEntrepreneurs #EmpowermentThroughEmployment #SocialEnterprise
