On today’s show, with guest Chris Hodgkiss, we explore the arts of Information and Communications Technology and music, the loss of a musical genius and where genies live.
“Find Tell Share” is a podcast co-hosted in Sheffield by Chris Sissons, Market Together and Jemma Rosenthal, Creative Hearts. It’s the storyteller’s podcast, featuring everything storytelling, especially if you use stories to promote your business or charity (and you should!). We produce an edition once a month with a guest, watch out for the next!

Chris Sissons loves stories and these days strides the streets of Sheffield on the lookout for new stories. He was a Community Development Worker for 30 years and consequently is sceptical about almost everything.
I’m a local marketing coach, using stories to open up business development in surprising ways. I underline the distinction between real and paid work. Many people are unhappy because they cannot find time for their real work – as we unravel the lockdown, we’re all challenged to step up and offer the world our own unique insights. They won’t always work but how else do we find the ones that do?

I run Telling Stories: Making Business, storytelling for business owners, on second and fourth Thursdays (usually). It’s an opportunity to hear a business owner’s story and to offer feedback. We improve our own storytelling when we help others. Find the TSMB programme here. This page is regularly updated. Click on links in right-hand column to register for your Zoom link.
