A shameless plug for Doug
Victoria Ward, Tuesday, January 19, 2010

Storytelling, earthquakes and getting through came to me through Doug Lipman’s newsletter today. It says so much about storytelling so economically. And that’s Doug all over. I was lucky enough to be with Doug presenting at what must have been the first conference on organisations and storytelling in New York in April 2000 or 2001. Madelyn Blair will probably remember, because she was there too.

I was talking about our work with doctors and nurses and patients and volunteers and others about working together to story a vision for a new integrated health centre which became the brief for an architects competition. And Doug came up to me and gave me some very beautifully pointed feedback about my own storytelling.

He’s a great teacher, a great teller and a very generous man. So I’d suggest you

• follow the link and read the blog
• sign up to his newsletter and
• order this which I got recently and have been through a few times now
• figure out how to get yourself to one of his courses.
