Melbourne has grown a new neighbourhood! It’s called Victoria Market

Melbourne has grown a new neighbourhood! It’s called Victoria Market

After living abroad for almost nine years, I returned to discover that the CBD had grown a whole new neighbourhood. It was called Victoria Harbour. I didn’t even know anything existed on the other side of the Southern Cross Station. But a whole new neighbourhood has popped up – replete with cafes, shops, apartments, an awesome
library, an awesome playground, riverwalks, and, as of July 2016, a Knowledge Market.

So what’s a knowledge market?

As it sounds, it’s a market where you can get… ahem… knowledge. Knowledge about what? Well – everything really.

The Knowledge Market describes itself as a “creative hub for sharing ideas:” a “home to a group of unconventional mentors”.

And Storywell is actually one of those unconventional mentors! Yep, that’s right – Storywell will be running Storytelling Masterclasses and introductory workshops at the Knowledge Market.

The first Masterclass is scheduled for July 18 – come check it out!

PS – To celebrate the launch of Knowledge Market, this masterclass is absolutely free!

All communication is storytelling

All communication is storytelling

If you’ve ever attended my workshops, you may have heard me say once, twice or fifty thousand times that all communication is storytelling.  That’s right, we can use our storytelling skills every time we open our mouth, or computer, to convey SOMETHING to another human being.

This is because every communication is an opportunity to recount an event, together with a message, to another person.

In  this great article, Lucy Jolin describes some the contexts in which you might want to use storytelling.
She suggests deploying our storytelling weapon during recruitment to convey the nature of your organisation’s culture to potential recruits, when you are pitching to create better buy-in, and even by the proverbial water cooler, to encourage team members to get to know each other better.

It’s a great read!  I’d check it out.
