I recently attended the book launch of The Halo and the Noose – the power of story telling and story listening in business life, written by Dorian Haarhoff and Graham Williams.
The book uses stories to illustrate the stories being told in the corporate and business world – meta stories, so to speak. While I have not read the book yet, a quick look through the table contents promises a good read, including:
- listening
- service
- silent stories
- belief
- money
- teams and diversity
- strategy
- conversations
- coaching
- mindfulness
The book is high up on my reading list. I will give you a review once I have read it.
Update: Dorian and Graham will be running “storytelling in business” workshop in Cape Town on 5 May. The cost of the full day workshop is R2500. For details and bookings, please contact Johleen van Dyk on 021 913 3507 or email johleen@symphonia.net.
