Welcome to StoryBistro.com. This website focuses on stories for learning and insight, centered on the themes of personal effectiveness, organizational effectiveness and careers. The stories come from reflections about ourselves: our lives, our work, our insights, our dreams and our aspirations. These stories take place daily, at work, at home, in school or in the community. We are in the process of updating the pages - as such some links may not be working as yet. We apologize for the inconvenience.

STORIES

Stories have power. They delight, enchant, touch, teach, recall, motivate, challenge and inspire! They help us understand. It is a fundamental human need to hear stories, tell stories and invent stories. We hope that the stories you read in these pages will give you that. We invite you to drop us an email if you find the stories and reflections useful, have inspired or led you to further insights. A forum has been set up to add further interactivity between us and you, and between you and fellow like-minded individuals seeking mutual support, learning and inspiration.

The site has three sections:

1. Fresh Careers & Transitions – stories and reflections about finding our passions, vocations, new careers and transitions to different careers
2. Personal Effectiveness – stories and reflections about personal improvement and personal effectiveness
3. Organizational Effectiveness – stories and reflections about organizational life, management, leadership, change and more. 

PRACTICAL STUFF

While the stories and reflections aim to tickle your mind or provoke your thinking, the content will also look at how you can practically apply and use this stuff. Often when we read or “learn” something, we ask ourselves SO WHAT? How can I apply this stuff? Can I use this stuff to help me in my life, my work, my relationships? We hope you will find this site enlightening, useful and practical. If you do, please tell others about it. The more connections are created, the more vibrant the community will be.
