Editorial Reviews

The stories we all learned as kids come to life with beautifully interwoven success principles, in a grown up way! -- -ROD HAIRSTON, President, Envision U, and author of The 45 Day Challenge

About the Author

Stories have been an effective form of communication for thousands of years. And now, authors Johnson and Radio bring back this learning principle by reshaping classic children’s stories for an adult audience. Stories like Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer, the Three Little Pigs, and Little Red Riding Hood are eloquently retold to enlighten and enrich the human soul and mind in unexpected ways. Each story breaks through the paradigm that business books must be tedious and filled with mind-numbing details. Instead, the reader’s imagination opens up in new and unexpected ways, capturing the same dynamics to that of a child listening to a story for the umpteenth time. Yes to think, to learn, and to unleash the power of your child-like imagination once again. "Inside Out" is an electrifying book that breaks new ground for people seeking personal and professional growth. It unleashes its readers to learn and be entertained at the same time. But most important of all, "Inside Out" can transform individuals, organizations and ourselves.

5.0 out of 5 stars Make Your Story a Lasting Impression!, March 3, 2003

By 

Debra Oestreich (Michigan USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Inside Out (Paperback)

A quick read that leaves a lasting impression. Inside Out is a book that will be re-read and referenced over and over as corporations, teams and individuals hone their story. By using stories we all have heard and/or read as children, Radio and Johnson tie in the business/personal theory (take-away) that leads one on a new path to skills such as leadership, team building and empowerment! Every one of us has a story to tell, read Inside Out and make your story one that leaves a legacy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Book has application to all businesses, industries., December 12, 2002

By 

Edsel W. Fickey, V.P. Sales, Southeastern Saf... (Gainesville, GA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Inside Out (Paperback)

Johnson and Radio has put together thoughtful renditions of real business processes in the prose and style of storytelling - a lost art. Selling your story to your employees, your family, or your political party is necessary to get something moving - anyone can learn from this easy to read book. I bet you never thought of the stories told to you as a child as having any deeper meaning - this proves there is more to telling a good story, and listening to what application those stories have in real life!
