Toowoomba here I come.

It's interesting how the world works, especially when you're a business storyteller as I am. 

In early January I received a call asking if I'd be interested in researching, writing

and publishing the story of McNab. Absoutely, was my response.

I was intrigued though as to how they had 'found me'. It turns out

they had a book of another construction company I had published many, many years

ago and, of course my name and phone number were in the back as the Publisher.

(Just goes to show keeping the same mobile number for just over 25 years is handy).

It was clear from the follow-up conversations that the approach, style and passion

McNab has is going to make this an interesting, enjoyable and different expereince.

And, I can't wait.

I've never been to Toowoomba (pronounced Ta-woom-ba) so I'm looking forward

to that...I love new expereinces.

And, I love wrapping my head around a new story. I've learned over the years to ask

lots of questions, listen to the responses and help guide people through thoughts, 

memories and insights that they perhaps have never been asked about before.

The art of capturing a story

And this reminds me of my dad, Gerry, who I love dearly and passed away too

early.

We went through the cranky Jaqui 'teenage' period, which lasted abit longer than

my teenage years. Fortuneatly I grew up and we both got older, and then spent quite

abit of time chatting about his life. I always remember his response to my

question 'Can you tell me about your life?' 'Of course I can' was his response.

'Why haven't you shared this with me before? I asked.

'You never asked' was his response.

Capturing business stories

I am passionate about capturing business stories. Really they are just stories

about people, groups of people and what they create together.

Isn't that such a great thing?
