Organizational Storytelling:
Reimagining the Why, How, & What
Did you realize that everything you speak and do is part of your story? Are you aware of the impact that stories are having on you? Is it possible that entire cultures are a complex weaving of stories?
What stories are we telling right now? What stories are being heard and not heard right now? These are the kinds of questions that Dr. Johel Brown-Grant and John Hovell work with every day. They have designed an interactive session with us to discover our stories and work with them.
Dr. Brown-Grant will share the findings from his published book regarding the basic structures of a story. And of course, come prepared to share your stories – especially a story about the most impactful OD experience that you’ve had.
We invite you to join us on 3/10 to enjoy some stories about stories, and maybe share some of your own!
