Daniel Kaufman's insight:

The power of stories to help shift our thinking and facilitate real change. 

Karen Dietz's curator insight, February 1, 4:55 PM

Ahhh -- really good insights and points here in this article by Gunther Sonnenfeld that expands our typical ways of working with stories in business (transactional storytelling), and how we need to shift to transformational storytelling.


Stories provide meaning and purpose, as the above text says. Even when told for transactional purposes. But there is no reason for organizations not to also claim the higher ground.


This is a thoughtful article that touches on a few fundamental truths about storytelling, and calling us to think/act more deeply about the story work we do.


And I like the visual chart that comes along with it also!

We talk about how to spread our influence and how to build audience for our message.  Story seems to me to be one excellent way for doing that.

Participation, Not Marginalization: Using People's Stories for Social Good

Participation, Not Marginalization: Using People's Stories for Social Good | BizEdCom - Nurturing partnerships between business, education and communities | Scoop.it

Are these stories important to tell? Yes. If done right, storytelling is public education that has the power to change societies.

 

...

 

Maybe sometimes we should be story facilitators and help others tell their own stories instead of doing it for them. Enter participatory storytelling, whereby participants learn about narrative and use technology to produce their own media. By giving them control, we get a genuine storyteller’s perspective, plus they’re empowered through participation, not representation—which is the only solution to marginalization anyway.

 


Via Gregg Morris, Jennifer King
Daniel Kaufman's insight:

A great way to give power to the stories of those that are marginalized.  Givng them a voice also gives them the power to change.
