If you would like to tell your story, please text Chris Sissons on the mobile number at the top of the page. I'm seeking storytellers from 22 April 2021! Normally second and fourth Thursdays at 2pm. Meetings take place on Zoom.
Storytelling helps us find an audience who care about our purpose. They help us communicate who we are and our business values. Facts and figures go only so far, stories are remembered and demand a response from those who hear or read them.
The
Telling Stories: Making Business Facebook Page
includes posts about Telling Stories events and loads of ideas about storytelling. Please visit and like the page.

Testimonials from Past Storytellers
A Lot to Think About
It’s been really interesting. There’s been quite a lot of things to take away from today and a lot to think about to try and tie all the elements into a nice cohesive story.
Not Just a Life Story!
It was fantastic. Really enjoyed it actually. Came along, didn’t quite know what to expect. I was a little bit … kind of well I’ve only got one story and I thought it was pretty straightforward really, telling a story. But I’ve learned masses! I’ve learned about kind of trying to put it in a different way, trying to make it into something that people can relate to but not in a boring way, not just a life story, which is kind of what I’ve always tried to do before. So it was about sort of actually taking a piece, making a picture, making that element of it. Something people can see, they can feel, in a magical way, not necessarily in a boring factual “oh this is what happened” kind of way but actually creating a story and that sounds really obvious now but it’s not something I thought about and to get feedback from five other people, kind of honest feedback – about this works, this doesn’t, what about trying that, make sure you pick this bit up. It’s been really, really good and I’m going to take that away and practice this and redo something because I gave another thing on Monday and I’m going to try it out there. So, I will be feeding back about how the rewritten version went in the future but it was great. Thank you, Chris
Improve How You Get Your Business Across
I really enjoyed it. I told my story and I must admit I didn’t prepare it before because I never do. I had great feedback about how I can alter it, how I can improve on it. And what I can bring across to connect more people to want to come to me and my business. Chris is a really good mentor in this and so I recommend anyone who would like to come across and would like to improve how they get their business across to come to this Telling Stories.
