An open invitation....


     If you have been stimulated by the material on this web site, or by my workshops, or by my books, The Secret Language of Leadership, The Leader's Guide to Storytelling, Squirrel Inc or  The Springboard, and would like to contact me, and get some free advice on leadership, innovation, the discipline of business narrative, or knowledge management, drawing on my experience in successfully implementing these ideas, feel free to send me an email and let me know what you would like to discuss. I'll be delighted to hear from you! 
    With best wishes for your success

Want to join a listserv on business narrative?

Actually, there are two listservs.

One is the local listserv for the Washington DC area, called the GoldenFleece list. This is a list intended mainly for people who live in or around the Washington D.C. area in the U.S.A., and who would like to hook up with other storytelling practitioners in the area. They meet once a month to discuss storytelling in organizations, and you can join by (1) sending an email to: 
       GoldnFleece-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

and (2) remembering to put "Subscribe Goldn-Fleece" in the subject line. (Otherwise your email may be blocked by spam filters or deleted.)

The other is WorkingStories, the international listserv for anyone in the world interested in organizational storytelling. You subscribe to this list by going to this page.

Which list should you join? If you're from outside the Washington DC area, the more obvious choice is the Working Stories listserv. If you sign up for the Golden Fleece list, which is possible, you will get a fair bit of traffic about meetings, parking, and so on, that may not be of very much interest to you if you're living on the other side of the planet. Nevertheless, if you are from out of town, and you want to stay in touch with the folks in Washington DC, feel free to join the GoldenFleece list.

If on the other hand, you're in the Washington DC area, you will certainly want to join the Golden Fleece listserv, because this is how you get notice of meetings and other relevant doings in the area. But you may also want to join the Working Stories list, so that you stay in touch with the various global conversations that take place there.

Still have questions about which list to join? Then send me an email, at steve@stevedenning.com and I'll try to sort things out for you.

He sees things others don't and is able to explain them so the rest of us can understand.” Chip Heath, co-author of Made to Stick. “This book offers a genuinely refreshing perspective and an uncommon insight into the narrative life of leadership. I highly recommend you get it today and read it tonight. Tomorrow will be an entirely different kind of day if you do.” Jim Kouzes. Co-author of The Leadership Challenge
