EP063: Story vs. Narrative

The Red Thread Podcast: Simple Models for Mastering Change brings you brief, engaging looks at the mental models we use to make meaning -- and how to use them to create and communicate change. Each three- to seven-minute episode features a compelling story, framework, or example of a "red thread" and draws a quick lesson for anyone to use in their business or their life. Find the Red Thread is hosted by Tamsen Webster, Executive Producer of TEDxCambridge and 20-year change and message strategist. You can follow Tamsen on Twitter: @Tamadear.
