“Avoiding False Assumptions” is key to “True Storytelling®” which explores the power of storytelling in leadership, organizational change, and ethical decision-making. True Storytelling® introduces seven principles which are designed to foster a culture of authenticity and respect for diverse perspectives. In the course, these principles are further developed and emphasized: listening to multiple voices, acknowledging the context surrounding stories, and engaging in a process of self-reflection and critical thinking to challenge assumptions. This course promotes the use of storytelling as a tool for navigating complex situations, achieving sustainable growth, and fostering a more ethical and inclusive society. The core premise of “True Storytelling®” revolves around the idea that traditional linear narratives often rely on cherry-picked facts, oversimplifying complex situations and leading to false assumptions. To achieve truly sustainable and ethical change, a deeper, more holistic understanding of the “whole of the evidence” is needed. This involves acknowledging existing narratives, considering diverse perspectives, incorporating future-oriented thinking, and fostering a culture of dialogue and active listening.
