The Storytelling Workbook
The Storytelling Workbook is a practical, nine-week programme (based on Anthony Tasgal’s “rule of three”) to help you learn to tell your own narrative and present your story, whether it be for your CV, your dating apps or your own personal writing. It is an entertaining, instructive and interactive guide to becoming a better storyteller across all facets of your personal and professional life.
Including a mix of case studies, advice and exercises, this workbook is structured into three sections: before, during and after. In the before section, you will learn to free yourself from reductionism, obsession with numbers, facts, data and ‘messaging’; in the during section, you will concentrate on finding simplicity, meaning and depth; while finally, in after, you will come to understand how to write less and think more and ultimately how to keep writing again and again.

The Bullshit-Free Book
Bullshit is everywhere. Some of it is just lazy, some is complete nonsense, and yet some is at least trying to communicate something, even if it fails. Bestselling author Kevin Duncan has been on a life mission to improve business language and understanding. In his latest book, he weeds out the worst offenders, and the contexts in which they most frequently occur, to provide readers with a path to clear communication.
The book starts with an examination of why we seem to use so much jargon and non-sensical words and phrases in our daily working lives. Duncan then lists and analyses the 100 most popular examples of bullshit used internally and externally, their real meaning, and rates how harmless or dangerous they are. The book ends with advice on dealing with bullshitters and a manifesto to help anyone achieve clear, bullshit-free communication.
