What’s inside?

  • 30 pictures of people from around the world, taken by Alessandro Bergamini,
    a photographer and traveler awarded by National Geographic. More information about the photographer can be found here.

  • 30 authentic stories. On the back of each card there is a story contextually related to the picture. These stories are extraordinary, inspiring, often touching, and will broaden your perspective. In addition to the stories, the back of the card contains information about where the picture was taken.

  • 30 slogans metaphorically related to the pictures.

  • Process scenarios in the STORY model with indepth questions.

  • Packaging.

 

The STORY model was created to help you discover your authentic story. Authentic Stories cards help you ask questions about your values, potentials, needs, and direction of development.

 

The following scenario is a proposition of 5 coaching sessions:

S – STRENGTH (session 1h) - Your strengths are Knowledge, Experience, and Passion. Awareness of your resources and potential is the starting point for self-discovery.

T – TRIAD (session 1h) – Another important area for self-discovery is the Coaching Triad of Mission, Vision, and Values. These three elements make up your identity, which has been built over the years, starting in your family home. Full self-awareness is the starting point.

O – OBSERVATION (session 1h) the next step is to observe reality and the environment. This is a synthesis of all previous discoveries.

R – REASON WHY – Why is discovering and creating your authentic story so important to you? Why should your story inspire you and those around you?

Y – YOUR FIRST STEP – the last step is to make a decision to move on. It can also be proposed to end each session with questions from the GROW Model by J. Whitmore.

 

Authentic Stories presents people from all over the world with their traditions and culture. The stories are touching, inspiring, and sometimes also scary. Their authenticity can help us to discover not only your inner beauty, but also learn from the ”dark side” of your personality.

We observe people from other cultures, and even though they are distant, we can see and rediscover ourselves in them.

We invite you on a journey of self-discovery through the most interesting corners of the world, so you can start consciously designing your own authentic stories.

Our goal is also to raise awareness of different cultures, their rich and intriguing traditions, their unique knowledge and mastery of techniques from different fields, their close relationship with ”Mother Nature”, their extraordinary approaches to clothing, and many other aspects that make their stories unique.
