Somewhere along the way, we lost our sense of story. We traded it in for better models, systems, and data. But the world is longing for story again. People are looking for the stories that pass on gathered wisdom, reveal our identity, convey responsibility, instill values, and uncover the truth.
Robert Fergusson has a passion for story. It's the method in which he communicates messages which help to bring clarity and impact into the lives of those he teaches. In his new book 'Are You Getting This', Robert shares 20 techniques to help you rediscover the power of story in your own life. He teaches how you can begin to incorporate the craft of storytelling back into your own life.
In today's conversation, we discuss the importance of story in our culture today and how the rediscovery of the art of story is something that is needed more than ever. It helps us to explore and share ideas that matter and ultimately helps us to spark changes in our thoughts and actions. Join us as we ask the question 'What story are you telling yourself?'
