Podcast: How story ditting helps to get to the heart of things

By Andrew. Filed in Narrative.

And who said work isn’t fun. Facilitating Anecdote Circles is great fun. What makes them even more fun is when you get ‘Ditting’ occuring. Ditting is the natural phenomenom of story ‘one-up-manship’. One person tells a story and then another has a better one, and so it goes. I thought a great way to demonstrate this is to put you right in the middle of one of our recent Anecdote Circles (about workshops and seminars) and let you hear for yourself.

In this sample you will hear a great bollocking story told about some energy sapping leadership behaviour in a workshop. The facilitator, me, then looks to encourage ditting by asking “can anyone do better than that…?”. And, of course, they can.
