Hi Tim
Another good saying (from the world of storytelling) is ‘show, don’t tell’.

Hey Tim,
Good to see one of the BNI co – National Director of the UK on here 🙂 We are looking forwards to seeing some more UK contributors – hopefully we will soon be featuring material from Thomas & Penny Power. If any UK members/directors would like to contribute we would be pleased to post their material. We recently posted an article by James Cruickshanks from East Anglia.

Nice blog. We always say that facts tell, stories sell, but this is a great explanation of what makes a good story.

Thanks Alastair – stories have held power for thousands of years; it’s surprising how little we use them.

Well done Colin, you have made story telling sound so simple, it should be something we all do every week.

There is no doubt that members thrive on good stories especially if they can identify with the hero’s.

I am looking forward to meeting lot’s of hero’s in the next few weeks.
