There has been much focus on the role and importance of spirituality in the human experience. By contrast, little focus has been placed on the potential relationship between spirit and working, especially not within major corporate institutions. Corporate Storyteller: The Art of Noticing Things, is an attempt to do just this. By intermingling contemporary management theory and practices such as empowerment, readers will experience a fresh and innovative perspective -- one that corporations and individuals can use to improve how they accomplish results. Portraying storytelling as a way of communicating vision, motivating people and producing results, Corporate Storyteller describes how stories can play a critical role in creating understanding about organizational mission and helping individuals lead more enriched lives. Through experience with stories, readers will see how individuals can learn to examine their beliefs more deeply, become aware or their inner passion as these beliefs come to consciousness and experience the inspirations and accomplishments that come when living in accordance with those beliefs. Indeed, daring to bring truth and love to the workplace can bring great rewards for people and the organization they are a part -- as passion becomes part of the natural flow of daily life. The current American business environment requires all workers to be transfixed on adding value to their company bottom line. Daily activities must be measured against the contribution they make toward achieving some business goal. Corporate Storyteller provides a provocative examination of where work and life, routine and passion, intersect. It will help people consider a new reality, point out some fallacies they assume to be facts and help transform beliefs from limiting to limitless.
