      I'm so happy to read your points of view and to learn that our collective knowledge about stories is so deep. I really think this will be helpful for our (very) short presentation.

      Just yesterday at my hospital Community Advisory Council I had the opportunity to give feedback on a video of a patient story. You know the drill I'm sure. "We start every meeting with a patient story."

      I told them that every patient story is told because of the facts at the heart of it, and because patients want to see change. So the question I gave them was "What are you doing to look at the stories, to look at the issues and to make things different."

      Maybe it will help, bit by bit.

      Annette

        Well said, Annette. The story is a stepping stone to action. I use story telling quite a bit and try to relay how it links up to broader issues within our health care system. For example, coordination of care, compassion, difficulties in diagnosis, awareness, etc. I often try to corroborate how my experience often mirrors others stories as well. This is why it's so important to have a broad network of people with illness in our networks to continuously validate our working assumptions. Just thought I'd share my experiences and I think the presentation looks great!

          Laurie, thanks for sharing. This presentation, although only 7 minutes, gets richer and richer with everyone's input. Stay tuned for the final slides and the draft notes.

            Dear everybody,

            I'm delighted to have joined this group in the last week.

            Prior to 2011, when I became the primary care partner to my mom who lived with dementia, I was a public speaking and presentation skills coach and trainer for 20 years.

            Obviously the deadline is past for commenting on this particular presentation, but I would be happy to help / advise / counsel with respect to others in the future.

            I'm pleased to see plenty of good ideas in the thread.

                  Welcome Susan, I'm sure you are perusing many of the threads, and not sure if you have had a chance yet to see the one "Telling Our Stories So that They Matter". With your experience, you may have a great deal to contribute.

                  I think we have only seen the tip of the iceberg on this great discussion.

                  Be well,

                  Gail

                      All: We have taken your feedback and merged it into the notes. Annette and I will be taking some presentation training with Susan Macaulay to refine our delivery on Oct 18. This will probably lead to our needing to trim the notes. Once we are done, we will post the final version for you all to see.

                      With all the marvellous discussion and feedback on telling stories, we have enough for a workshop. This could be delivered to our members and also be available for members to deliver. What do you all think? Alies

                        I think it sounds like a great plan 🙂
