“Derrick Hatch with All Things Narrative delivered yet another amazing presentation for our management team.

Our team was so impressed with his presentation, not only was his content insightful, but the delivery was also captivating. Derrick has a unique ability to connect with the group and his passion and expertise shines through, making every moment of the presentation engaging and inspiring. Derrick seamlessly wove together stories, examples, and practical insights, bringing the archetypes to life in a way that was both enlightening and deeply resonant.

Searching for a practical, yet lively experience for your next staff development day or retreat?
Archetypes help define characters’ roles in a story. They provide a glimpse into a person’s wants, fears, motivations, characteristics, hopes and dreams.
In this interactive workshop, participants will identify there archetypes, and how they manifest in the workplace.
We then explore how archetypes, along with Externalizing Conversations, can help solve problems and manage conflicts more effectively.
You will be introduced to a framework that you can use in staff meetings to help navigate challenges without blaming the person, focusing instead on addressing the root of the problem in its own context, and utilizing the gifts of each archetype.

Crafting Your Testimony
A Workshop for Churches & Ministries
“What a wonderful workshop to be able to have had together with Derrick from All Things Narrative and myself from Dare to Love Ministries. From the idea of equipping women on sharing their stories for His glory through the actual day was an absolute pleasure. Derrick worked with me, the ideas the goal of the workshop to create something just for us. The women learned, grew, and left equipped to share their testimony. This was such a wonderful experience as a ministry and for all the ladies involved. Thank you Derrick!” - Rosy
What is the relationship between your story and God’s story?
Many people have incredible testimonies of how God has changed their life; but they’ve never been trained on how to communicate or share those stories effectively.
Former pastor and writer Eugene Peterson once said that, “When we submit our lives to what we read in scripture, we find that we are not being led to see God in our stories but our stories in God's. God is the larger context and plot in which our stories find themselves.”
In this workshop, you will learn skills that can help you share your testimony more effectively, along with how to cultivate a culture that promotes the telling and receiving of testimonies in God-glorifying ways.
These workshops empower church leaders, congregations, and ministry teams to boldly proclaim their testimonies in light of the biblical narrative, while also honoring one’s lived experience.

A Workshop for Nonprofits

Do you want your staff, volunteers, and donors to better connect with your organization’s mission and one another?
According to the Harvard Review, 71% of executives say that employee engagement is critical to their company’s success. Yet according to a Gallup poll, only 15% of employees are fully engaged in their workplace! One way to increase engagement is by asking:
What story are you inviting people to be a part of?
Employees play a more active role within their workplace when they are invited to participate in a compelling narrative. But this isn’t just exclusive to staff; volunteers and donors for nonprofits can also be better engaged through storytelling.
Our CEO, Derrick Hatch has experience helping organizations better communicate their story. In 2020, during the height of the COVID-19 Pandemic, he helped the nonprofit Urban Youth Impact tell their story through a virtual gala that culminated in a successful $250K match.
In our ‘Reconnecting the Narrative’ workshop, we work with you to create a memorable experience for your team to:
Reconnect with your organization’s values, mission, and vision.
Meaningfully communicate your organization’s story.
Strategize ways to better manage their roles, challenges, and aspirations.

The Hero’s Journey & Analyzing Films
An Educational Workshop
“Derrick's workshop on the Hero's Journey was informative, insightful, and inspiring. As a writer, I feel like Derrick does an amazing job breaking down the structure of a story, and I look forward to learning more from him.” - Wilandy
How do stories shape our identity?
Storytellers are familiar with the ways stories shape individuals and cultures. And whether we realize it or not, the stories we give our time and attention to are influencing us, whether they be in books, films, or plays.
When influential writer and professor Joseph Campbell studied ancient myths, he discovered the underlying patterns that emerge cross-culturally. These patterns have been integrated into a storytelling structure known as The Hero’s Journey. And it is this structure that forms the basis of many of the most prevalent and influential stories in pop culture, whether it be Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, or the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
In these workshops, you will learn the Hero’s Journey, and how to analyze films according to their themes, archetypes, and symbolism.
These workshops are perfect for educational institutions such as libraries, colleges, senior centers, and other community groups. These workshops can go for as short or as long as desired, with opportunities for participants to engage and practice the tools they learn.

What makes a great story?
Best-selling author and professor Jonathan Gottschall once said that, “Story — whether delivered through films, books, or video games — teaches us facts about the world; influences our moral logic; and marks us with fears, hopes, and anxieties that alter our behavior, perhaps even our personalities.” If stories really are this influential, then how do we better understand them?
Storytelling skills can be an asset to whatever you are doing, whether you are a business looking for ways to better connect with your clients, or you are a creative engaging the world through your art.
