Abstract

Storytelling has long been recognized as a powerful, transformative tool in everything from personal growth to community development. In peace leadership, storytelling can become a powerful tool for unifying disparate groups, arriving at understanding across cultures, and creating common vision. How does the peace leader acquire the skills needed to use storytelling in their work? Storytelling, in peace leadership, begins with a deep commitment to personal growth and continues into understanding others in a cultural context. Presented here are skills and techniques that are integrated into a model peace leaders can learn and utilize to become a skilled agent of social and cultural change. To be most effective, the peace leader becomes a reflective story listener as well as a storyteller.
