This week, Shawn tells a 1-minute story shared by Kurt Vonnegut, the author of Slaughterhouse-Five, in a poem he wrote as a tribute to Joseph Heller, his friend and fellow author, after he passed away. The New Yorker first published the poem (https://buff.ly/3R1RDTP) in 2005. 

Despite its short length, the story prompts Shawn and Mark to discuss what makes a good story and how long stories should be. So we think you’ll get a lot out of this episode! 

Shawn and Mark also mention that we have released our 2023 events calendar! This year, we’re running public Storytelling for Leaders (https://buff.ly/3R4bfqd) and Story-Powered Sales (https://buff.ly/2YcPRVS) programs every two months.

Complimentary tickets are available for those wanting to evaluate a program on behalf of their organisation. And paid tickets are available for personal development and individuals who may have missed the opportunity to complete a program with their team.
