Telling Stories

Jan Sugar September, 2016


Jan gave us a fascinating presentation on  the art and value of story telling. Through many examples and directed  remarks, she showed how stories "define us and connect us" to others.   Especially impactful was challenge to us and the exercise to create six-word stories to help define who we are.  Jan left us with several  meaningful thoughts:  "Practice. Practice. Practice new tools and  ideas.  You become what you practice" and "Failure is the grandfather of  success."
