Description
Storytelling as Teacher Reflection Tell me your story is a phrase popularly being promoted in the business setting during recent years: Marketing companies are finding that stories better communicate with and engage people [e.g., "Forget about PowerPoint and statistics. To involve people at the deepest level, you need stories" (McKee & Fryer, 2003, p. 51; Jensen, 2003)]; management consultants find storytelling to be more effective in bringing forth change and improvement within employees (Denning, 2004, 2005); and human resource advisors find it to be an effective interview technique (Ibarra & Lineback, 2005). Lawyers are also encouraged to utilize storytelling in their practice. As James Boyd White (1985) writes, "The mind that tells a story ... finds its meaning in representations of events as they occur in time, in imagined experience ... the lawyer must recognize (this) within himself.... It should be equally evident that he must learn how to tell a story, and how to listen to one" (p. 243). Storytelling is also widely used in various forms of counseling, such as religious counseling, abuse counseling, and career counseling (Alexander, 1988; Baldwin, 2005; Brott, 2001).
