Workshops in his technique are held regularly all over the world - from New Zealand to Switzerland. Tellers continue to use Doug's techniques to improve and gain ownership of their work.
Teachers use it to affirm and enable students in the classroom.
Professionals use it in the workplace. Therefore, the coach's job is to assist the teller's ability to think creatively, not to offer prescriptions or formulae. Doug's process is gentle, affirming, enabling - very positive. It teaches the teller a structure of questioning and analysis focusing the teller on choices that free and deepen the story's development. We'll be combining individual coaching with some coaching training in the hopes that participants will feel more enabled to use Doug's techniques in their future work as teachers, tellers, and producers of storytelling events.
