David,
Thank you for mentioning my blog and for alerting me to Mike’s article. Like Mike, I’ve discovered the joy that comes from taking the risk to share my own story with others. I’ve also learned how wonderful it is to learn the stories of others and how it helps me connect with them. I’m giving some thought to Mike’s post and how I can recommend people in organizations get to know each other’s stories. Right now I recommend they write down a list of people they frequently interact with at work then take them out for a meal or coffee and get to know them as human beings. I like the idea of having people share their stories in a team meeting but I want to be careful not to put any pressure on those who are more reserved and are not comfortable sharing.
All the best,
Michael

Michael Lee Stallard,
I think we can invite the story while still respecting that some may not accept out invitation. In some ways, we tell our “story” in everything we do. It was a pleasure to acknowledge the two Michaels.
Tim Wright has also been doing a lot of very fine writing about stories and engagement at his blog.
