Voices, Relationships, Trust and Time Travel – Notes and Resources

Voices, Relationships, Trust and Time Travel is a conference presentation by Tim Noonan about the power of voice to strengthen business and personal relationships, build trust, and the power of telling stories to change our perspective on the world.

View and listen to Tim’s presentation

I consider the paradoxical interplay between Truth and Tale; Proof and Possibility; Thought and Feeling; Speech and Listening; Trust and Healing.

I pose two questions:

  2. Might more of our relationships and communities blossom and flourish if we were more attentive and mindful about how we use our voices in business and in everyday life?

I was delighted and quite excited to have been voted as the 2010 Australian Big Thinker in the Story Telling category by 54 % of SMS votes by the audience of approximately 200 folks at the APG’s “Battle of Big Thinking” event.
