Client Testimony

The Story Cafe™ "I wanted to thank you for a very enjoyable Story Cafe in Chester. Both myself and my partner got so much from the event. You have a very charismatic style and we both felt you had really given the content of the event a lot of thought. I'm still even now reflecting on the stories and how you managed to pack so much into 2 hours."  RS

Workshop on Organisational Storytelling

"Highly recommended. Elizabeth [Gates] and Lisa [Rossetti] really do make conversations easier. Their introduction to the storytelling as an approach to business and organisation development was a joy.”
Peter Bond. Learning Futures Consulting and Regional Director for Liverpool’s Gurteen Knowledge Café.

The Story Cafe™

Really enjoyed today - it was just the creative reflection space my soul needed!

Power of Stories™ Workshop "Making Meaningful Connections"

The whole day was brilliant. 
Such an enjoyable course.
The course was superb and I learned a lot.
A reminder of how powerful stories can be and to be fully aware of this.
The course was inspirational and helped me to have more awareness.
Never enjoyed training as much as this course.
Excellent trainer, very interesting, great group.

International Women's Day

International Women's Day at the Monastery in Gorton.

The pleasure of co-delivering a two-part workshop - The Storyteller Within - with my colleague and friend, Lizzie Gates, of The Lonely Furrow.

Reflections & Emergent Space - then, Vision and Values-in-Action.

 We create a reflective space for busy and aspiring women.  I read an Indian folktale of a broken pot, whose flaw leaves a legacy of bright flowers by the path. Lizzie reads from Baba Yagar, full of dark fear and triumph.

Here is my "Threads" poem from IWD on 8 March 2010; drawn from threads of conversation. Stories connect us.  Our voices are heard. 

The Colour of Her Company
A power - a positive energy. A day of positivity, just for her.

To celebrate her friend, to be part of her; this has special meaning. And she wants to feel close to her daughter.

She feels powerful, feels bright. The vibrancy and the freshness, feeling alive.

These are the colours of her company.  A special Holy Island - the world in which she works. These are the colours that reflect who she is.

(I am trying to remember the story ... how we are expected to dress.)

So he buys her lots of things; bright things that he does not really like. But she loves all of it.

The necklace falls ... When things like that happen, she knows - It's for a reason.

© Lisa Rossetti: March 2010
