WORKSHOP: Building Your Public Narrative with Tanvi Girotra

LIMITED SPOTS AVAILABLE

Public Narrative is a leadership craft through which we translate values into action. The Public Narrative model, originally developed by renowned community organizer and Harvard Kennedy School lecturer Dr. Marshall Ganz, is rooted in decades of organizing experience and informed by insights from social science and teaching in diverse contexts. By engaging the 'head' and the 'heart,' each participant will learn to tell their own story (a story of self), and will learn the theory behind how to also tell stories of us and now. They will go through a journey of exploring their childhood memories and searching for moments of agency that built their value system growing up, which in turn helps them make mindful choices as women and as leaders today.

Public Narrative is a leadership course developed and taught at the Harvard Kennedy School by Dr. Marshall Ganz and is being adapted for this audience by Tanvi Girotra, a trainer and coach working closely with Dr. Ganz.

Tanvi Girotra got introduced to Public Narrative as a student of Marshall Ganz at the Harvard Kennedy School in 2015. She spent the next two years as a part of his teaching team and has trained and coached numerous social, business and policy leaders globally since then. Prior to Harvard, Tanvi founded an internationally recognized organization - Becoming I Foundation - which works towards revolutionizing education systems in India to transform marginalized communities from within.

Tanvi is a Muhammad Ali Humanitarian Award recipient and has also been awarded the Karamveer Puraskar for Justice and Citizen Action. Her work has also been recognized at the UN where she has been awarded for ‘Contribution to Humanitarian Development’. She has been invited to train, speak and be a panelist for platforms like the UN ECOSOC, UN WOMEN at the EU Development Days, the Clinton Global Initiative and various TEDx conferences, alongside heads of state, social and business leaders from across the globe.

Tanvi currently works as an advisor to philanthropic and social impact organizations around the world, focusing on both the head and the heart of building organizations and programs from the ground up. She holds a Masters in Public Policy from Harvard University and calls New York City and New Delhi home.
