How to Share Knowledge Using Anecdote Circles

What you are after in the anecdote circle is not purposeful stories, which are indicative of what people believe is expected of them, but anecdotes, which are more unguarded and truthful. As indicated in the ‘Things You’ll Need’ section above, the anecdote circle should be populated by people who have had experience, and who can reflect together on some issue or topic that relates to that experience. Probably the most important thing about the anecdote circle is that people shouldn’t be aware of a lot of structure or “objectives” in what they are doing.
