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.
Telling Stories: Making Business munch and learn, whatever time it happens, feel free to bring a sandwich!

Testimonials from Past Storytellers
I Highly Recommend It
I found it really interesting. It was great to get the feedback on my story and obviously look at different ways in which I can amend it and make it better. So yes I found it really useful and there were some really good comments come back from the group, so I would highly recommend it.
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.
Useful Constructive Feedback
It was very interesting actually. I didn’t realise I’d spoken for so long, it was nice to know that people hadn’t fallen asleep. It’s nice to know they were engaged with what I was saying and I thoroughly enjoyed telling the story. I did find it a very relaxed atmosphere. I didn’t find it at all sort of ill at ease.
I was more than happy to say what I said and got very encouraging nods and yeses and various comments all the way through and certainly it’s made me think about how I tell the story in the future. I had lots and lots of useful constructive feedback from Chris and from the other members that were here. I need to go away and think about how I can refine it and how I can re-tell it to perhaps make it more engaging and more relevant to certain groups of people. I have thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a very very useful experience. I’m going away with a lot to think about. So, thank you, Chris.
