Arbeitsgeschichten

Language and narratives are bridges between the body and the world. We convey our work experiences in stories and dialogues. Counselors can build on these narrative motifs, tell stories, use metaphors and empower their clients to rearrange narratives and free up resources. Klaus Obermeyer conveys the inherent power of the narratives contained in work narratives and organizational theories and describes thought models and methods of narrative consulting. A detailed practical example illustrates how consultation can function as a poetic process of shared authorship. A consulting approach that builds on the creative power of language, narratives and metaphors as well as their aesthetic dimension.
