Oral tradition is great, but sometimes the orginal meaning can get lost (like the broken telephone game) or more positively transformed into something great. The method works well because it rings the right bells.

In conferences, the person who presents and includes stories from his life or from clients or people in his organization is the one who gets listend to by the audience. I think 'bosses' who relate stories of their lives connect better to their employees. Narrative therapy in psychology has been revolutionary in liberating psychology from the fetter of old rules and boundaries. Yes I totally agree.
