The second day of the April 2005 weekend of storytelling was sponsored by the Golden Fleece group.
Keynote speaker Molly Catron, speaking on “Difficult Stories to Simulate Dialogue and Change Organizations’ Culture,” was a hoot. Though she didn’t get to talk about many of them because she told so many great stories, you can download her PowerPoint slides and a related Word doc paper
Other sessions I attended included Ashraf Ramzy from the Netherlands, speaking on “Narrativity and Spirit of Enterprise — The Quest for Identity, Purpose and Value,” Kelly Cresap on “Sovereign, Warrior, Magician, Lover: An Archetypal Journey,” and Geoffrey Wilfong-Pritchard on “It’s a Great Idea (It will never work!).” All were interesting and Wilfong-Pritchard in particular painted a picture of how an organizational story really works in a real-life situation.
