How many of the limitations in your life and work do you assume you can’t change? This may be a “story” that you tell yourself, or you have been told, that is just not true…
Many people don’t know that they can change their story, whether it’s individually, in their community or company.
There is an exciting new way of thinking about the world and leadership that has impacted greats like Nelson Mandela and Peter Block called “narrative work”.
This power leadership way of thinking opens a window to see that there are lots of other possibilities than that story that you’ve already been told and sold. This is narrative work and power leadership.
Join us today in part I of this exciting interview to learn how you can apply power leadership and narrative work and transform your career, business and life too, simply by changing your story.
Our guest today is Chené Swart, is the author of the book, Re-authoring the World: The Narrative Lens and Practices for organisations, communities and individuals. She is a contributing author on Coaching from a Dialogic OD paradigm in the ground breaking organizational handbook published by Berrett-Koehler in San Francisco in 2015 called Dialogic Organization Development and Change: Theory and Practice
She lives in South Africa where she writes and works as an executive coach, consultant and trainer specializing in re-authoring practices.

Each of us has a free will at our core, so like it or not, others will choose to change more readily from the example set by our own transformation than by any demand we make of them.
