I owe a lot to Sharon Darwent for teaching me how to run anecdote circles. She might not remember it but Sharon gave me some basic principles which worked. Mind you, now I've run hundreds of them and I'm now cursed with knowledge. This curse has culminated in us writing a short booklet on how we do them. But to find out the two simple principles Sharon passed on to me take a look at this clip.

Hi Shawn, I've been enjoying your blog - it's always interesting to read about the experiences of fellow practitioners!
I really think Sharon hit the nail on the head with her anecdote circle tips, especially the one on being comfortable with silence. It's something I struggled with personally, if the group falls silent for too long I always have to fight the impulse to intervene. Good to know that it happens to others as well!
