The Stories That Shape Us: Waking Up Your Discernment and Increasing Your Impact
When you meet someone for the first time, how do you get to know them? Isn’t it through shared stories, about your lives, about what matters to you, about your experiences and beliefs? Stories connect us deeply and naturally. They are the human patterns that tell us who we are and who we might become. The stories we’re living are key drivers of personality, choice, and expectation. Human communities create collective stories. That’s why Jung’s concept of archetypes is so useful.
MYTH, MYSTICISM & STORY Starts March 15: An Online Workshop with Carol Pearson and Me
Myth, Mysticism, and Story, is a workshop based on Carol Pearson’s system of 12 archetypes in human development and evolution. Archetypes are universal patterns in thought, creativity, nature and human designed things. She and I have been writing and teaching together around archetypes and stories for the past 20 years. Her system, described in What Stories Are You Living? Discover Your Archetypes – Transform Your Life, focuses on archetypal characters and story patterns. These characters are the Idealist, Realist, Warrior, Caregiver, Seeker, Lover, Creator, Revolutionary, Ruler, Jester, Sage, and Magician, and these describe patterns in our minds, that affect what we do, believe, and expect. Come wake up your primal archetypal consciousness and step more deeply into your life and dreams.
Organizational Change Management: The Power of Story
The stories we live in our organizations can make us or break us. The key is to co-create stories based on real and present situations. In the process, we get to be fully present, rather than projecting our assumptions and fears unconsciously onto others, reinforcing oppositions that comfort us only temporarily and cause problems for all.
