Why Storytelling and Story Writing
Is there a story you have heard again and again and you still enjoy listening to it?
Have you ever wondered why we tell each other stories?
​
Stories helps us make meaning of the world around us. Stories helps us relive our past and leap into the future. Stories are a creative expression of our experiences and wisdom of past generations.
Story-telling is one of the most effective and creative ways of communication. It is identified as a very important skill needed for effective action. Generations of leaders, gurus, artists, entrepreneurs and individuals have used stories to share a message and continues to do so!
Stories we tell and stories we write are an extension of who we are and who will be!
