Story Matters @ Work eWorkBook
We are all immersed in and surrounded by stories throughout our lives from cradle to grave; at the preconscious, unconscious and collective conscious levels from sperm to worm; and perhaps beyond from ancestry to the collective unconscious. This has been the case since time immemorial. Story is a natural part of our humanity.
In Part One we:
- underline the key principles involved
- open the way for you to becoming a master story-teller
- explore the variety of roles for story at work
- expound the central keys to story-telling and listening - mindfulness and imagination
In Part Two we offer do-it yourself guides to:
| Elevator stories |
When you have limited time in which to make a necessary, powerful impact on someone who could be important to your success |
| The Corporate story |
When there is a need to convey the story of your organization to existing and potential shareholders, stakeholders and customers |
| Sharing a personal story at work |
When at an important job interview, as a member of a team facing joint challenges |

| Problems and decisions changes |
