The Power of Stories

In my Partnership Fieldbook, I have written about using stories as one component of professional development, and I am currently reading several authors with much to say about the value of story telling as a part of communication and, indeed, community building. I will likely post more information about those authors in the near future. Today, thanks a tip from my mentor and colleague Don Deshler, I have also discovered a wonderful website that beautifully and powerfully illustrates the power of stories. I highly recommend visiting story corps, where people have a chance to tell the stories of their lives. Monique Ferrer's story of losing her children's father in the World Trade Center disaster, is simple, and heart-breaking, and beautiful all at once.
