All things ABT, start to finish. Host Dr. Randy Olson a decade ago formulated the ABT Narrative Template built around the three words And, But, Therefore. It is now the centerpiece of his books, "Houston, We Have A Narrative," "Narrative is Everything," and "The Narrative Gym." In this weekly hour long post he will discuss observations, applications and implications of this powerful tool that is at the core of his narrative training program and effective communication of all forms.
Randy Olson hosts ABT Time, a education show with 63 episodes published.
