STORY-LISTENING EVENT: Inspiring Stories with Friends
Caption
Imagine Getting together with a few friends and this happens…
You tell a true story from your life. No pressure. Your words are accepted as they tumble out.
Friends listen, empathize and encourage. No judgement. No fixing. No interrupting with other stories.
Questions and comments seek understanding of and empathy with your experience. Your story comes alive in a safe space.
You feel heard, understood and encouraged. In the telling and conversation, you understand yourself better.
Truly listening to friends’ stories deepens friendships. Empathizing helps you walk in their shoes. Encouraging raises their self-confidence and increases your joy.
By the end of our time together, you are:
1. Changed by truly being heard.
2. Inspired by others’ stories.
3. Better at listening, empathizing and encouraging.
STORY-LISTENING EVENT WITH FRIENDS
This is what a Story-Listening Event is about.
Gather 2-3 hours. Share a meal. Listen to each other tell true stories. Maybe in a couch-filled living room, secluded corner of a park, cozy cabin or on top of a mountain.
Listen. Laugh. Learn. Empathize. Encourage.
Leave inspired to be a better listener. And better friend.
