For the past thirty years, Richard has been assisting organizations across the country to tell their story better. As CEO of StoryWork International, he has been pioneering new approaches to bringing the practical applications of storytelling into all facets of business, healthcare, education, and society. In the healthcare sector, he's the co-creator of StoryCare, a web-based product to help healthcare organizations improve patient safety and help educators better prepare nurses and doctors. Richard also created the LivingStories program for Novant Health, which facilitates patients' telling their life stories to improve their health outcomes. He codeveloped the award-winning board game Pitch-A-Story and is a recognized national speaker in addition to authoring numerous books. When Richard is not writing or telling stories, he is an accomplished visual artist, and you can see some of his work at www.richardstoneart.com. He earned a MS in clinical psychology from Peabody College at Vanderbilt University. Scott has devoted the lion's share of his working career to leading major organizations, first as CEO of Krispy Kreme Doughnuts. Currently, he's an owner and executive director of Dewey's Bakery, a national purveyor of premium, Southern-inspired cookies and crackers headquartered in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. But his real work has always been about story, both defining and executing the brand story of the companies he has led, and through his lifelong exploration of how to use story to impact every facet of his own personal and professional journey. As Chairman of StoryWork International, Scott provides the strategic guidance to the company's direction as he and Richard have developed the MasterStory Experience-a transformational program designed to assist a company and its leaders discover their deeper purpose and how to live it. Scott earned his BS from the University of North Carolina, and he and his wife, Michelle, are active in the community, both through Dewey's and the Livengood Family Foundation.
