The right story – told the right way – can turn an undecided voter into a lifelong supporter.
On Saturday, September 20, 2025, Nevada Right to Life and the Leadership Institute are teaming up to host a one-day training event aimed at sharpening one of the most important skills in politics: storytelling.
The “Winning at the Ballot Box Storytelling Seminar” will run from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at 333 N. Rancho Drive.
Breakfast and lunch are included, and the event is completely free with RSVP.
Turning Words Into Wins: The Power of Personal Narratives
We’ve all sat through speeches packed with numbers and talking points that left us unmoved.
But then, every once in a while, someone shares a personal story – and it sticks.
Organizers say that’s the difference storytelling makes.
Stories connect people in ways charts and statistics never will.
They can raise funds, recruit volunteers, and most importantly, win votes by building trust and empathy.
Who’s Leading the Training
Two nationally recognized trainers will guide the day:
-
Dr. Heidi Petak, Ph.D. — A professor, communication trainer, Dove Award-winning scriptwriter, and voiceover artist. She has a passion for helping leaders and everyday people become trusted communicators at work and at home.
-
Dena Espenscheid — With over 20 years in politics and policy, Espenscheid specializes in training conservatives to speak with clarity and conviction. She currently serves as the Director of Pro-Life Programs for the Leadership Institute.
Together, they’ll teach attendees how to understand their audience, craft strong messages, and speak with impact.
