The Wise Woman's Stone

Stories are a very powerful way to communicate and convey messages. With a story, you can cut though the need for excess verbiage in a presentation, and in one fell swoop, deliver a pithy or funny missive to a captive audience.

The best stories often linger in our minds and demand that we retell them; their message often incisive, strong, true. I find that good stories don't get tired...
