One of the problems with which I have been wrestling is the title, as I recount here.

My concern about that title, which I still quite like, is that Twice Upon a Time has been used a lot. There is a book, a series of books, a single, a film...

So at present, I am quite keen to go with Shifting Stories. Which raises the question of a subtitle.
The options I am currently considering include:
Shifting Stories: How changing their stories can transform people.
Shifting Stories: How changing their stories can free people to perform
Shifting Stories: How Multistory Development can improve organisational performance.
Which leads to another problem. I have described the approach I explore as a multistory approach, and talk about multistory development. I quite like those labels, as they accurately encapsulate the central idea: that there are many stories available to us about any given reality; and that developing alternative stories is often very helpful. But some people have said that the image of concrete carparks is a distraction to them. So I have experimented with other descriptions, most recently the ManyStory approach. But they don't feel as comfortable to me, so I am minded to go back to multistory.
So this post is really a request for feedback on any of these: let me know your views either via comments, on twitter, or by email. I will be most grateful.
