DAY OF DECISION for THE 2012 ELECTIONS

PURCHASE THE STORYWISE ANALYSIS

This book takes the 2008 election as a Case Study to show how narrative shapes the 2012 elections.


OBAMA Versus ROMNEY!


"Leaders ( who work) in a story of well defined endings and excited beginnings have to exercise real leadership in the middle, to reorientate their troops by constantly injecting hope, by hanging tough, when the wind dies and there seems no signs of movement or life." Page 44

Shaping the stores that shape us


CNS works with organizations and communities and their leadership, training them to become storywise. That means you will

  • better understand the power of stories,
     
  • more effectively measure the real effects stories have in shaping our identities and our destinies, 
     
  • translate this understanding into practical tools to engage more creatively with conflict, change and the challenges of an uncertain future.
