| The World Bank,
NASA, and Hewlett Packard are just three of the many companies that are
using story and storytelling to enhance and improve employee and
management effectiveness in their operations and services. Below are some
examples of how story can be used. * Strategic Planning: Building on a base of wisdom to envision and empower a better tomorrow * Ethics: Building a corporate awareness of personal ethics. Using stories from Afghanistan, Iran, Turkey, Nepal and others that look at the values of honor, friendship, responsibility and more. * Fundraising: Building credibility and articulating a vision with donors. * Building Relationships: Creating awareness and relationships with internal and external customers through stories. * Motivational Keynotes: For seminars, conferences and in-house training * Building Effective Presentation Skills: All administrators and managers are called upon to speak to internal and external groups. This is a critical time for many. If the listeners are not comforted, inspired, reassured, or motivated, all other actions can fall by the wayside. We provide coaching in development of presentations and in presentation skills What They Say About Us - "The work you two are doing is wonderful.

I'm going to multiply my listening skills and incorporate the principles you shared." Vicki (Red Cross Development Director) - When I heard the story all I could do was think about all the times I would never do it, and how bad I wanted it. I sat there hanging on his every word thinking this is me, he's talking about me!" Paige Oburn - "The message was very strong and direct, it touched upon topics of ethics and also the idea of working with what you have been given. These ideas inspired me to be a better person and to give more respect to my fellow humans." Tim Mentzer
