You all have helped make the #MTtalk story a successful one. Thank you.

A10 "He tried to help. He tried to be kind." #MTtalk

The #mttalk chat may be ending, but our collective story continues. Grateful to be writing it with you all.

A9 Stories keep those I've lost and experiences past alive in my head and heart. Story is essential to celebration and to surviving grief. #MTtalk

“Listen, and you will realize that we are made not from cells or from atoms. We are made from stories.” ― Mia Couto #mttalk

“The stories we tell literally make the world. If you want to change the world, you need to change your story. This truth applies both to individuals and institutions.” ― Michael Margolis #mttalk

A8 Community. Continuous learning. And the opportunity to experience all of your stories and our shared wisdom. #MTtalk

“You’re never going to kill storytelling, because it’s built in the human plan. We come with it.” ― Margaret Atwood #mttalk

“Story is a yearning meeting an obstacle.” ― Robert Olen Butler #mttalk

“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” ― Maya Angelou #mttalk

A7 I sometimes refer to myself as a storycoaxer. I love being present for people who have a story to share, encouraging them, honoring them, helping them to feel safe and comfortable with sharing, letting them know that they and their story matter! #MTtalk

"Under the storyteller's hat are many heads, all troubled." Jim Harrison and Ted Kooser, Braided Creek #mttalk

A6 Be present. Pay attention! Listen. Acknowledge. Express gratitude. We have so much to learn from each other. Stories are a great conduit to our shared, all-too-brief time here. Celebrate the stories that are shared with you. #MTtalk

A5 Here's one way. Remember the purpose of your story. Even if it's "about you" it's not "about you." “The purpose of a storyteller is not to tell you how to think, but to give you questions to think upon.” ― Brandon Sanderson

“Marketing is no longer about the stuff that you make, but about the stories you tell.” ― Seth Godin #mttalk

I learn from the other storytellers in my life. My three favorite story gurus are my father, my wife, my son. They are masters. I learn from them daily. #mttalk
