Answers
Answer:
Here are stories, analogies, research findings and other examples that provide wonderful illustrations for learning, and inspiration for self-development.
Read about the travellers and the monk, tickle me elmo, get in the wheelbarrow, the shoe box story, the scorpion and the frog, murphy's plough, Pavlov's dogs, the monkeys and the stairs, and more.
Look at the stories index for stories listed by subject.
Or go straight to the stories.
Analogies, stories, fables and case-studies are great ways to illustrate teaching, training and business lessons.
Stories, examples, fables and research references add colour and substance to presentations and reports, and reinforce learning of all types.
Some of these stories are ironic and so can best be used to illustrate pitfalls and vulnerabilities rather than best practice. If you know who wrote any of the unattributed stories below please let us know so that credit can be given.
Read and enjoy and send me your own favourite stories and anecdotes.
See also the quotes page, which contains many more motivational, educational and amusing anecdotes for writing, speaking, learning, teaching and training.
Please note that The Person Who Had Feelings story, which was on this page for some while (with suggested but uncertain attribution to Barbara Dunlap) has been removed at the request of Barbara Dunlap Van Kirk, its author, who has kindly contacted me to explain that she is indeed the author, and that the work is protected and so is not to be reproduced. The version on this page was also somewhat different to Barbara's original.
Some of these stories might be offensive to certain people in certain situations. If you are a strong advocate of political correctness or are easily offended please don't read this page, or the rest of this website, and for goodness sake don't go near the acronyms page.
If you are a publisher, editor, teacher, trainer, writer, or speaker of any sort, then please be mindful that disability, discrimination and equality are highly sensitive issues, and that when seen from these angles, some of these stories will be objectionable or offensive to some people. Many of these stories refer to different forms of the human condition, and to people from different parts of the world. Anyone seeking examples of political incorrectness and stereotyping of all sorts will find lots here. This is a major aspect of storytelling and unavoidable in many cases I'm sorry.
