Training & capacity-building

Support for teams, facilitators and practitioners who want to develop storytelling skills they can use responsibly and confidently.

This can include:

  • Bespoke workshops and learning programmes

  • Storytelling for facilitators, coaches and educators

  • Advisory and embedded support for complex initiatives

Training and capacity-building are designed as learning experiences rather than one-off sessions. Programmes may combine facilitated workshops, short video or guide-based modules, and reflective practice, supported by follow-up conversations or group check-ins.

In some contexts, media and storytelling skills are developed alongside live projects, allowing teams to learn through exploring a real subject or theme, rather than in isolation. This approach helps build confidence, judgement and ethical awareness as skills are applied in practice.

Training is usually co-designed with in-house teams to reflect real contexts, pressures and opportunities, and may be delivered in partnership with specialist facilitators where appropriate.

Storytelling strategy & consultancy

Support for organisations who need clarity before creating content. This work is paced, collaborative, and shaped around real organisational capacity.

This can include:

  • Story and communications planning

  • Ethical and stakeholder mapping

  • Programme-level storytelling design

  • Advisory support for complex initiatives

This work often takes the form of co-designed strategy sessions, delivered through a mix of facilitated workshops, focused consultancy conversations, and practical planning tools.

Depending on context, this may include in-person or online workshops, short video or guide-based resources, and follow-up support through video calls or check-ins, allowing thinking to develop over time rather than in a single moment.

Strategy work is typically designed in partnership with in-house teams, and may involve specialist facilitators or collaborators where additional expertise is helpful.

Co-creating courses & learning resources

Support for organisations, educators, and practitioners who want to design courses and learning resources that include storytelling and multimedia elements.

This work focuses on shaping learning experiences that are engaging, human, and grounded in real practice, using video, audio, photography, design, and reflective exercises where appropriate.

Courses and resources are co-designed to create a clear narrative arc across sessions or modules and may include support during pilot delivery, adaptation, or facilitation.

Development and funding models are agreed collaboratively, and may include development fees, shared ownership, or longer-term partnerships - always clearly scoped and aligned with capacity.

Multimedia Production & Coordination

When specialist delivery is required, Brave Day can coordinate multimedia production as part of a broader strategy — taking on an executive producer or coordinating role to ensure clarity, care, and consistency throughout the process.

This can include:

  • Executive producer or coordinating role

  • Managing freelancers or partner studios

  • Oversight of quality, ethics, and consistency

While the focus here is on strategic oversight and coordination, this work is grounded in extensive hands-on filmmaking experience. With over 25 years’ experience across the full production process — from concept development and filming through to post-production and delivery - Kirstie brings a practical understanding of what works on the ground as well as on paper.

Production is delivered in collaboration with trusted creative partners, allowing Brave Day to remain focused on strategy, care, and coordination while ensuring delivery is realistic, well-planned, and aligned with purpose.

Frequently asked questions

  • Brave Day supports organisations through strategic storytelling consultancy, training and capacity-building, and production coordination.

    Most work begins with strategy and planning — helping teams clarify purpose, ethics and approach — before moving into training or coordinated delivery where appropriate.

    Rather than offering one-off content creation, Brave Day focuses on longer-term storytelling capability, ensuring work is ethical, sustainable and useful beyond a single project.

  • Brave Day sits between commercial delivery standards and community-centred practice.

    With over 25 years in professional media production and more than a decade working alongside communities, health organisations and social enterprises, the work bridges:

    • Institutional goals and lived experience

    • Strategy and making

    • Professional output and care-led process

    Projects are collaborative rather than extractive, and designed to support learning, wellbeing and long-term capacity — not burnout.

  • Most projects begin with a conversation to explore:

    • Your context and aims

    • Where storytelling sits within your wider work

    • What level of support would be most useful

    From there, Brave Day may propose a short scoping phase, consultancy block, or programme outline — depending on need.

    There is no obligation to proceed beyond this initial conversation.
