  84. Mar 6 2009 - David Boje and Dr. Grace Ann Rosile addressed the Advancing Leaders group on Friday, March 6.

They are also better at eliciting stories from others, and better at listening to stories. In the workshop, participants practiced all three skills: storytelling, story eliciting, and story listening. By exploring the unspoken assumptions and the untold story, tellers and listeners gain insights into both themselves and their conversational partner(s). These storytelling practices foster deeper understanding and improved communication for better relationships at work and in daily life.
