One of the reasons why it is not easy to be a good listener is that there are so many other calls on our attention, both from the world around us and from what’s going through our minds as we supposedly ‘listen’ to others.

Narratives are powerful forces, shaping not only our perceptions and attitudes about issues but also how we behave towards other people. A narrative can inform or misinform, do good or do harm, expand understanding, co-operation, trust and well-being or reduce them. In a challenged, conflicted and changing world the manner of our storytelling has never been more important. In this episode communications professional Rachel Erskine explains the vital role that ethical storytelling plays in the work of an international health NGO and in any endeavour to do good.

Creating Great Dialogue with Paul Minx

Although communication is sometimes described as one-way, no act of communication is merely one-dimensional: all communications reflect both intent, conscious or subconscious, and impact, positive, neutral or negative. So while speeches, presentations and monologues can be multi-faceted in these respects, how much more complex, dynamic and potentially either creative or destructive is the interactive process of dialogue. In this episode guest Paul Minx shares reflections and insights about the part that dialogue - good and bad - plays in his parallel careers as an executive coach and a professional playwright.
