David Hutchens: Circle of the 9 Muses
If you’ve found telling stories awkward in leadership, David Hutchens shows us how to leverage practical storytelling for results.Quotes
The most important part of the work [of storytelling]is all the stuff that happens after a story is told. When you tell a story, that’s not the end of a conversation, it’s the beginning.
—David HutchensInstead of me saying, “Hey, this story is important,” I always ask the audience why it’s important, and let them make a case for it. And they always do.
—David HutchensWhen a group starts having meaning-making conversations together, they’re surprised at the feeling of connection that it creates.
—David HutchensYou can stumble and stutter your way through the story, but if it’s the right story, and if it’s connected to the work that matters to us, then it can be transformational.
