Session 2
Telling stories has become a core vehicle for communicating our thoughts, ideas, clinical insights and that which we want people to know without "lecturing" people. It helps others know what we have gone through to get where we are and that we share many more things than we could ever communicate through "teaching". Rob shares his views on why we tell stories.
