The single biggest mistake that OD professionals make and how to overcome it.
The miraculous and unpredictable power of storytelling - How to tell vivid personal stories for personal and organisational transformation.
"You may tell a tale that takes up residence in someone's soul and becomes their blood and self and purpose. The tale will move them and drive them and who knows what they might do because of it, because of your words. That is your role, your gift." Erin Morgenstern, author.
Programme:
•My story - how a late night bus ride changed my life.
•Who I am, what I do and how I work and what I hope we will achieve today: How to tell vivid personal stories and inspire others to do that same, safe in the knowledge that authentic, vivid story-telling is probably the most powerful tool for personal and organisational transformation.
•Introducing yourselves using the Story-duction technique.
•What is a story, how does it work and how do we deliver stories that transform the audiences' lives - instruction and discussion.
•Story-telling session: break into groups and get feedback. Topics: such as: An event that changed my life. The best advice I ever received.
•Facilitated discussion and coaching on story-telling and you could use it effectively in your work and lives.
•What is your plan going forward from what you have learned from today?
•Close.
