Storytelling Coach: How to Listen, Praise, and Bring out People's Best (American Storytelling)

Politics & Social Sciences

Social Sciences

The first steps in storytelling are often easy, because we tell stories informally every day. Once you take storytelling into the more formal contexts of performance or occupational uses, however, you may be faced with challenges you hadn't anticipated. You need information that goes beyond the basics. And you need it in a form that does not just tell you what to do but helps you make your own informed decisions. This book is meant for the reader who has already begun to tell stories and is ready to learn more about the art. Instead of rules to follow, it gives you a series of frameworks that encourage you to think on your feet. Doug Lipman has written and taught extensively on the art of storytelling. With the same generosity and warmth that characterize his workshops, he considers the teller's relationship to the story, the teller's relationship to the audience, and the transfer of imagery in a medium that is simultaneously visual, auditory, and kinesthetic.

Each story presents a vital and entertaining image of a woman who takes command of her life.  The collection as a whole shows how tellers in our culture have focused on female characterizations in just a few of the thousands of tales available.
