Personal Brand Playbook

Some photos from our story meetup in Hobart, Tasmania. We spent the afternoon practicing immersive storytelling, a skill that always comes in handy when telling the story of your personal brand. Needless to say, a good time was had by all and some great stories unfolded!

We're hosting a storytelling meetup in Hobart, Tasmania (Australia) on Sunday 21 August from 1.30-3.00 pm as part of the fantastic Sherlock & the Internet of Things initiative being run by our co-founder Lance Weiler who is now director of the Columbia University Digital Storytelling Lab. The meetup coincides with the start of a rather special MOOC, which is a FREE learning & doing environment focused on storytelling and emergent technologies , , , .
