How we interpret the narratives within our Life Story is crucial in influencing our life affirming energy, creativity and vitality, and countering the destructiveness and self-sabotage that can happen along the way. We have been holding workshops for professors, lecturers and young academics in Potchefstroom (at the Sports Village where the football World Cup winners,Spain,were based), Pretoria and Cape Town. Our subject has been the use of story patterns to design lectures and presentations; enlivening, challenging and involving audiences and learners through story; and using metaphors to carry ideas.

QUOTEABLE QUOTES Used in a Jeep Grand Cherokee TV advert: “You can watch your dream slip away, or you can follow it. You can walk a beaten track or follow a new path. You can escape from your story or take it with you. You can ignore your nature or let it drive you. You cannot travel the path until you become the path itself” Buddha “When a bird is alive it eats ants. When the bird is dead ants eat the bird. So time and circumstances can change” Mufti Ismail Menk “Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it” Mark Twain FORWARD THIS TO A FRIEND Help us to spread the story-in-business message and forward the email to a friend or colleague who you feel would be interested.
