The Storytelling Coach

How to Listen, Praise, and Bring Out People's Best

by Doug Lipman

Principles for giving and receiving good help--
on the stage, in the classroom, in the boardroom, and wherever communication occurs.

"Translating his extraordinary talents into written form, Doug Lipman understands how to create empathic dialogue and offers valued insights into the storytelling process so as to bring storytellers to where they want to be.

"It is a clearly organized resource book with principles that I will integrate into my own storytelling preparations, into my academic teaching, and into my teaching everywhere."
--Peninnah Schram

"...the lessons are applicable in education and in the workplace. A master teacher shares how a good coach elicits the best from storytellers, and how those same techniques can be used in many different situations."
--The Bloomsbury Review

"Excerpts from actual coaching sessions provide the reader dramatic moments of insight and transformation that follow from good coaching.

While Lipman's work is grounded in the storytelling revival, the principles, structures, and techniques are suitable for helping people of all ages improve at any kind of communication."
-- The Catalyst Centre

"A sensitive no-nonsense coaching guide addressing obstacles encountered in storytelling."
--Kathy Unverzagt, Eastern Tennesse State University
