On storytelling

[Dirk Stockmans]

One of the next steps we discussed at our gathering was to tell stories to connect the new to the old.

 

I just stumbled on this site that has some very interesting material on storytelling:

- a podcast on the importance of storytelling;

- a collection of stories with keywords;

- a guide to "anecdote circles", where a group gathers and everyone tells a story.

 

See it all at www.anecdote.com. And please, comment or add any other resources you have.

Yes, that would be great to read some stories that we can also include into the AoH workbook on how AoH is practiced in work and living environments. And stories in German would be also really great: just did some translation work this morning that is waiting for stories in German ;-)

Dirk, I am unsure if this could be useful, but another cool method to facilitate story telling in real time is through Storify.  It's a social media tool that allows users to collate stories across social media platforms into collaboratively written articles.

Good friends over in Melbourne have a great website in www.anecdote.com, and if you are interested in organizational storytelling, you might want to check out a practitioners network:  www.worldwidestorywork.ning.com.
