Nicely done.
“Circle of Stories uses documentary film, photography, artwork and music to honor and explore Native American storytelling.”
Good resource.
“Below is a list of research papers that investigate the effects of storytelling on children’s learning. Most of these projects:
have been documented in master’s theses, journal articles or books
cover a range of subjects including art, character building, history, language, mathematics, music, and science
are applicable from PreK through college settings
deal with oral storytelling (Projects on digital storytelling were not included since it is quite a different means of communication than oral storytelling)”
Strategy is your story, story is your strategy
“In his post, Ben talks about storytelling in relation to how he evaluates CEO’s. I like the fact that he doesn’t pin it all on the CEO to be the creator of the story, but that the CEO be responsible for creating the necessary architecture within the company to ensure that the company can clearly understand and tell its story.”
How the human web is changing the game

How to Use Metaphor as a Persuasion Technique
Fascinating article.
“The following story is an example of how you can use your persuasion skills in a very covert way. The example itself demonstrates how you can pre-teach a process. In this particular case we are pre-teaching a process to change someone’s mind set using their imagination.”
“This is likely the most important story I’ve had the opportunity to tell with USA TODAY. ”
Shawn Callahan’s site went live yesterday. It’s very well done!
“We avoid powerpoint presentations and focus people on actually learning and telling the story in their own words, supported by their own anecdotes.
Each telling is an individual expression of the strategy with a common plot and highlights so no one is left confused to what they should focus on. And the strategic story is just the start of changing behaviours to align with your strategic direction…”
Good resource for business storytelling books.
“Applying Storytelling to business and management has been a recent trend. These are books on how to to do that and I recommend them to you.”

Hey, Doc, I’m a story, not just a symptom
Good post from Cathryn Wellner.
“Having moved so many times in my adult life, I’ve rarely had the chance to really connect with “my” doctors. Some make it easier than others. They are the ones who know how to listen, who want to know the context of whatever symptoms walk through the door. They want to know my story.
A doctor who stands out in my mind took a storytelling course from me through the University of Washington’s Experimental College. During introductions, he told us why he was talking the class.”
David Bornstein talks about storytelling, problem solving and the idea behind Dowser
“We thought our readers might enjoy a recent talk given by our founder, David Bornstein, at the Good Experience Live (Gel) conference in New York. It sheds light on our motivations for launching Dowser. In the first two minutes, David speaks about storytelling and problem solving—the two life passions that led him to write about social entrepreneurship and later to create Dowser.”
Transmedia Storytelling & the New Media Convergence
“Narrative media is undergoing a shift from the traditional model of single, linear story lines to much broader explorations of the story world. Narratives are developed within larger contexts where even tertiary characters can act as launch points for new stories that flesh out the fictional universe. These bleed into the physical world through alternate reality gaming and transmedia cross-platform experiences that directly engage the audience, drawing them into the story through real-world challenges. ARG’s may not be especially new but they’re being more commonly integrated into franchise productions through transmedia campaigns across web sites, mobile engagement, shorts, graphic novels, video games, music, and any other possible medium that can extend the story.”
