Podcast appearances and mentions of murray nossel

Special Guest: Jerome Deroy: CEO at Narativ Jerome joined Narativ in 2007 after the founders, Murray Nossel and Paul Browde, handed him a shoebox full of notes and said, “we think there's a company in here.” Jerome had recently left a position at BNP Paribas, Hong Kong, and came to New York to pursue a career in filmmaking. He jumped at the challenge—and so began Jerome's story with Narativ. “Through my storytelling work, I've come to understand the power stories have to share culture viscerally, in an engaging and lasting way.”  At Narativ, today Jerome helps companies leverage the power of story-telling by teaching them how to end, craft and tell stories that resonate through a repeatable and scalable method. Narativ offers listening and storytelling training programs, one-on-one coaching, and virtual work-shops for sales, team building, leadership development and onboarding. For over a decade, Jerome has worked closely with clients as diverse as CIGNA, Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Janssen Pharma, and Warby Parker to craft business-relevant personal stories for sales, leader-ship, and team building. He regularly lectures at Parsons New School of Design in New York City on The Art of Storytelling. Join us as we discuss the art of Storytelling. Host: Jo Dodds

Contar historias es una estrategia muy poderosa para emprendedores y empresas que tienen que comunicarse con sus prospectos y clientes. Las historias conectan a las personas entre sí. Murray Nossel, lleva más de treinta años ayudando a los empresarios a contar historias. Con su método nos enseña a aprovechar ese poder casi mágico que tiene el contar historias. En este episodio vamos a ver los 6 principios en que se basa el método del Murray Nossel.

Jerome Deroy was hired, but did not connect with the company's culture.  When he did, he found it lacking direction.  Do any of your employees have the same feelings about your firm? Honest, engaging storytelling that touches people's hearts changes relationships, professional and personal.  How well do you explain things to others? Did you know the human brain is hard-wired for story?  Scientific studies show us that we remember stories more than data, statistics, and numbers.  Yet most people in business try to convince others rather than use a story. Jerome and his Narativ team seek to change that.  They help companies activate behavioral change from the inside out.  Their methods of listening and storytelling can transform anyone's communication. In this podcast, Jerome shares aspects of the rigorous and precise Narativ method that gets to the emotional heart of a story to better communicate your company's value, a point your want to make, or the way a partnership can be a huge win-win for those involved. Join us to hear Jerome's tips.  There's got to be one here that can help you communicate more effectively with others. Jerome joined Narativ in 2007 after the founders, Murray Nossel and Paul Browde, handed him a shoebox full of notes and said, “We think there's a company in here.”  Jerome had recently left a position at BNP Paribas, Hong Kong, and come to New York to pursue a career in filmmaking. Instead, he jumped at the challenge — and transformed Narativ into the business it is today. For the last 13 years, Jerome has worked closely with clients as diverse as CIGNA, Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Janssen Pharma, and Warby Parker to craft business-relevant personal stories for sales, leadership, and team building.  He regularly lectures at Parsons New School of Design in New York City on The Art of Storytelling.

Jerome and Julienne talk with Narativ co-founder Dr Paul Browde.Paul is a psychiatrist, a Narativ therapist, a marriage guidance counselor  and an actor. Paul talks about his early training as a doctor in South Africa and how learning to listen to his patients led him to Narativ and developing a listening and storytelling method. You'll hear Paul's origin story, and what led him to be guided by listening and people's stories, even as a doctor. He noticed early on that in the medical field, doctors listen for what's wrong and how to fix things, but they don't (or rarely do) listen for the story behind the issues patients are raising. Paul attended medical school at the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa and trained as an actor at the Drama Studio London. He completed residency training in psychiatry at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York and has run his own narratively informed psychiatric practice in Manhattan for the past twenty years. As a psychiatrist, Paul experienced first hand the power of telling his own personal story, one that liberated him and to be freer with who he really was. Today, he leads workshops for couples, teaching them how to communicate from a place of connection.He founded, along with Murray Nossel, PhD, Narativ Inc., which aims at transforming individuals, teams, and organizations through the simple, timeless, and universal art of storytelling. He has led and participated in several projects with the Open Society Foundations, teaching storytelling as an advocacy tool to grantees in Africa and Eastern Europe. He has taught the Co-Constructing Narratives course in the Narrative Medicine Masters' Program for the past seven years.Dr. Browde is co-writer and co-performer of Two Men Talking, a storytelling performance that has been produced in theaters internationally, including South Africa, on the West End of London, and Off-Broadway in New York City. Two Men Talking has been critically acclaimed in The New York Times, The Guardian, and The London Times. Topics: - Bringing your whole self to work: What does it mean? - Leading into the unknown: What is required of leaders today? We discuss practical tools that people can apply for today's uncertain times. Rather than coming from a place of fixing things, and having all of the answers, we talk about shifting this to asking questions and acknowledging that we don't have all the answers.- Us versus them: The dangers of seeing some people as separate from us. We all share a humanity, and we discuss how this has influenced Paul's work and what he's done with this in mind.- Leadership principles: How are we each leading our lives? Basic ways that people can see themselves as leaders, as opposed to letting others be the leaders. What if you could see yourself as the leader of your own life? - Grief and loss: Not many leaders have been vocal about the fact that we have almost all experienced some amount or a tremendous amount of loss. Most of us are grieving, but aren't necessarily aware of it. What do we do with this grief? Especially if it's unnoticed? We discuss the impact of grief, and how leaders can both acknowledge it and create support spaces for it.  To learn more about Paul Browde and his work:  paulbrowde.comTo learn more about some of the people referenced in the episode: https://hedyschleifer.com/narativ.com

Your organization has a story. Are you leveraging empathy for your audience and telling it? You may not think story has a place in business, but if you want to engage employees, partners, or customers it most certainly does. Why do stories engage us so much? And how do we craft a good story? Today, my guest, Jerome Deroy, and I break down why storytelling is the way we make connections, get inspired, and take action. We talk about the role of story in onboarding new employees, retaining existing ones, and creating a more inclusive culture. We also share some great ideas on how to make sure your company values actually mean something to your people - and that they truly feel like this is the tribe they want to be part of. You may not think you're not a natural born storyteller, but guess what? You are and this episode will convince you! Key Takeaways:Everybody has a story, and you can learn to tell it. Ultimately it is about people. Stories are one of the most effective ways to communicate in life and in business. Your unique story lives in the details of your story. The more detailed your story, the more universal your story becomes. Stories bring cultures together, even in a work environment.  "With stories, the more we listen to them and the more we create spaces for people to tell stories, the more they're actually going to be wanting to tell stories. Story begets story." —  Jerome Deroy About Jerome Deroy:Jerome Deroy, CEO, NarativJerome joined Narativ in 2007 after the founders, Murray Nossel and Paul Browde, handed him a shoebox full of notes and said, “We think there's a company in here.” Jerome had recently left a position at BNP Paribas, Hong Kong, and came to New York to pursue a career in filmmaking.

Let's delve into storytelling as a way to nurture your business. In this episode, master storyteller Jerome DeRoy shares with us his storytelling strategies.About Jerome DeRoyJerome Deroy is the CEO of Narativ. He met Narativ's co-founders, Murray Nossel, Ph.D., and Dr. Paul Browde, after responding to an ad for a production assistant. Soon after, they presented him with a shoebox full of ideas, saying, "We think there is a company in here." Narativ was born. Jerome coaches executives and leads storytelling workshops. His passion is to show you how you can use storytelling to enhance your onboarding program.LinkedInWebsiteYouTubeTwitterAbout the Lead with Levity PodcastThe Lead with Levity podcast is a show for leaders who care deeply about what makes/breaks the employee experience.

Everybody loves a good story, right? We especially love stories that come from a place of authenticity and sincerity. Jerome Duroy (connect with Jerome!) knows all about this - his company, Narativ, helps companies realize the power of storytelling. While it seems a natural fit for sales and marketing externally, storytelling is equally important (and effective) when used in-house. Recruiting, onboarding, retaining - "rehiring" your current employees by crafting stories to define your vision that far exceed the often-times generic statements we place in our formal mission statements. Using the "MVP" approach (memorable, vulnerable, personal), master storytellers can connect with their teams on a different level.Now, in a post-pandemic environment, the war for talent is more competitive than ever. At some point money and benefits no longer become an important differentiator. What is your origin story? What makes your company uniquely your company? It's cliche, but what is your "secret sauce?" Most importantly, what stories resonate throughout your organization like a common thread of understanding? With employees working predominantly in remote environments, stories are the way to build and retain teams.So get your ears on and have a listen...you can also see the interview here.It takes dedicated time and effort to create a meaningful story.

Murray Nossel was one of my favorite guests. We discussed the power of listening, active listening and actually how important it is to the narrative itself. Phrases like “forensic listening” and “listen a question” stuck with me. So when he recommended his CEO, Jerome Deroy, come on the show, I didn’t hesitate. In addition to continuing the thread on listening and storytelling, we’ll discuss something completely original: new hires and employee onboarding pre-, during and post-2020.

Murray Nossel is a storyteller who – since COVID – has pivoted his business to incorporate listening into his portfolio. And if you thought that listening (the art of listening, active listening) is in fact passive and not necessarily and inextricably connected to the story and storytelling itself, well….you’d be wrong! We’ll also discuss his World Mother Storytelling Project and so if you’re a mother, know a mother, had a mother, you get the picture…this is for you! Learn more about your ad choices.

A continual challenge for preparedness and response leaders is communicating their story. Dr. Murray Nossel, author of Powered by Storytelling: Excavate, Craft, and Present Stories to Transform Business Communication, shares insights and examples from his 30 years of helping individuals and organizations become better story tellers. Hint: It starts with listening and emerges from “the inside out.” This is NOT about media strategy. It is a lively exploration of how to communicate more effectively and authentically with internal and external audiences.

Murray Nossel, Ph.D., Co-founder and Director of Narativ Murray Nossel co-founded Narativ with Dr. Paul Browde in 2000. Their mission was to humanize business communication through the power of listening and telling. Nossel has taught storytelling for 25 years in more than 50 countries to more than 10,000 people. He believes unequivocally that we all have a personal story to tell. We simply need a method to excavate, craft and present that story. Nossel is the author of Powered by Storytelling: Excavate, Craft, and Present Stories to Transform Business Communication. Signature Stories for Executives Nossel works one-on-one with executives to create a signature story. This is a story he or she can use especially during mission-critical moments, such as when strategy shifts, during an internal reorganization, or to support PR efforts. Keynotes and Workshops Murray presents his 7-step method along with essential storytelling principles in keynotes or team workshops. Participants will gain insight into the reciprocal relationship of listening and telling, develop the outline of their own personal story, and experience the skill of presentation. Nossel has applied his listening and storytelling methodology in the theater and documentary filmmaking. Two Men Talking, a performance of his listening and storytelling method developed with Dr. Paul Browde, has been performed in the West End of London and Off-Broadway in New York City. His film, “Why Can’t We Be a Family Again?”, about African American brothers in Brooklyn struggling to reunite with their mother, a recovering drug addict, was nominated for a 2002 Academy Award®. Nossel is currently producing and directing “Sala” a documentary film about a Nazi Holocaust survivor who resolutely chose not to tell her story until age promoted her to speak. He is the founder and director of the World Mother Storytelling Project. Visit Dr. Nossel's website: www.narativ.com

Welcome to the latest edition of Leader ReadyCast. I am your host, Eric McNulty. My guest today is Dr. Murray Nossel and our topic is storytelling. One of the more frequent concerns that I hear from NPLI participants is that the media fails to “tell our story.” Whether in the aftermath of a human or manmade disaster, it seems that government responders are cast as inefficient, inept, and at times uncaring. That doesn’t reflect the people that I know and so when I saw Dr. Nossel’s book, Powered by Storytelling, I knew he would have valuable insights to share. Dr. Nossel has been helping organizations craft and present stories for more than 30 years. His firm is Narativ (one R, no E) and its clients include everyone from The Walt Disney Company to UNICEF. He is an Oscar-nominated documentary film maker and a co-star of the storytelling performance, Two Men Talking that has been on stage in Edinburgh, London, and New York. He’s a fascinating individual with a lot to teach us about stories and why they are so important.

Ann began her career as a lecturer in Victorian literature at Princeton University, where she earned a Ph.D in English. Her career as an entrepreneur in media and technology included the creation of satellite and internet businesses for the National Football League and Columbia University's online education company, Fathom. A frequent contributor to conferences and publications, Ann was named one of New York Magazine's Millennium New Yorkers and honored as a distinguished graduate of Princeton University and University of Buffalo. She serves on the Board of Directors of Apollo, Public Agenda, the Jewish Women's Archive, and the Princeton University Graduate School Leadership Council. Her new book is LADY AT THE OK CORRAL (HarperCollins, 2013), the story of Josephine Marcus Earp, the woman who was Wyatt Earp's common law wife for nearly 50 years, the woman who sparked the world's most famous gunfight, the one who buried her husband in a Jewish cemetery after he died — in her bed — in 1929, and the one who shaped the legend of Wyatt Earp and the Wild West. Ann is also the author of SALA'S GIFT (Simon and Schuster, 2006), the story of her mother's wartime rescue of letters from Nazi labor camps, available in German, Polish, Chinese, French, and Italian editions. The original letters are in the permanent collection of the New York Public Library, and are the subject of a traveling exhibit in the United States and Europe, a theatrical play “Letters to Sala” by Arlene Hutton, and a documentary film “The Letter Carrier” by Murray Nossel. She lives in New York with her husband, Dr. Harold Weinberg, and is the mother of Elisabeth, Caroline, and Peter.
