47. The power of storytelling - it's liberating!
Manage episode 357787769 series 2981270
People ask me about the Whose Shoes story?
🍋 How did I come to produce a board game?
🍋 What inspired it?
🍋 Has it changed much over the years?
Well, on 2 Feb, Kristin Johnstad from Minneapolis, invited me to tell my story at a Liberating Structures Q Community group, using 'Shift and Share' - hopping between breakout rooms, telling the same story to different groups.
It was fun getting the reaction and questions from an international audience.
It led to a whole month of storytelling adventures.
I thought I'd share the highlights and key learning here on the podcast.
