"Very engaging and a personable, conversational tone." "What a great read - a book that was difficult to put down!" The stories people tell are experiences they've had and reflected on over time, drawing out valuable lessons and using those insights to learn and grow. Of course these aren't Hollywood tales of high drama, but the sharing of wisdom gained through adversity, or a valuable word in an ear at just the right time. When performance coach Jim Constable decided to write down the stories he tells his clients, he wasn't sure how many he knew. Now he knows there are over a hundred - and he wanted to share them more widely. He asked co-author Kim Horstmanshof to lend her stories and voice to his reflections; together they have collected a wide variety of work and life experiences to prompt you to think and reflect on your own journey and challenges. Everyday stories like those collected in this book offer value for everyone, providing insight and perspective into common topics that regularly challenge people in work and life. Whether you read all 115 stories consecutively or dip in and out, these stories are written to help prompt you to think and reflect on everday experiences, just as you would in conversation with a friend, coach, or colleague.
