Find Tell Share Episode 17 with Chris Smith

Chris Sissons loves stories and these days strides the streets of Sheffield on the lookout for new stories.  He was a Community Development Worker for 30 years and consequently is sceptical about almost everything. 

I’m a local marketing coach, using stories to open up business development in surprising ways.  I underline the distinction between real and paid work.  Many people are unhappy because they cannot find time for their real work – as we unravel the lockdown, we’re all challenged to step up and offer the world our own unique insights.  They won’t always work but how else do we find the ones that do?

I run Telling Stories: Making Business, storytelling for business owners, on second and fourth Thursdays (usually).  It’s an opportunity to hear a business owner’s story and to offer feedback.  We improve our own storytelling when we help others.  Find the TSMB programme here.  This page is regularly updated.  Click on links in right hand column to register for your Zoom link.

The cowboy story (book and film) I refer to towards the start of the Podcast is Shane and not Slane, which is something else entirely.

Natsume Yujin-cho – you can find this on Crunchyroll and watch for free, if you can put up with the ads.  Or I hear it’s on Netflix.  Crunchyroll covers the first 3 of 6 series (39 episodes).  I haven’t been able to track down the series 4-6 but they may be on Netflix.  If anyone reads this and has access to Netflix, please take a look and let me know what’s on there, if anything!

Story Forge meets once a month apart from December.  You can find out about their activities and other storytelling events, some online, here:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/94064587663
