Today I met Richard (Rick) Stone, founder of The StoryWork Institute. I was excited a couple of months back to discover that this pioneer of the organizational storytelling movement lives only about 40 minutes from me. He discovered storytelling in 1989 and has been using it in his consulting, speaking, and writing practice since. He was quite gracious when my partner and I met him for coffee — in light of the fact that we were embarrassingly late!
Rick will be speaking to my entrepreneurial class this fall, which also excites me.
And he’s bringing out a storytelling game, Pitch A Story, for kids ages 10 through college age.
