The Gentle Touch: Coaching with Embodied Restorying Process (ERP)

By David Boje

Introduction: The Power of Restorying with a Gentle Touch

In coaching, there is a profound difference between pushing change onto an entrepreneur and gently guiding them into a space where they recognize their own power to transform. This is the foundation of Embodied Restorying Process (ERP)—a seven-step coaching approach designed to help clients navigate their lived stories, recognize limiting narratives, and construct new, empowering stories.

At its heart, ERP is about how we make sense of ourselves. Our minds filter out 99.9% of reality every second, leaving us with only fragments of the world. These fragments become our stories—shaped by habits, cultural norms, and past experiences. But what if those stories no longer serve us? What if they limit our well-being and our ability to thrive?

This workshop in Brisbane will take participants through a structured yet flexible approach to restorying their entrepreneurial journeys. The key is The Gentle Touch, an idea echoed in Ernest Hemingway’s words:

"In our darkest moments, we don't need advice or solutions. What we need is human connection, a quiet presence, a gentle touch."

ERP is not about forcing change; it’s about gently inviting a shift—at the right moment—through deep listening, mirror neurons, and recharacterization of personal and professional identities.

The Seven Steps of ERP

1. Recharacterize – Examine how the world defines your organization or identity.
2. Externalize – Label the problem, making it the problem, not you as the problem.
3. Sympathize – Understand the benefits of holding onto the current story.
4. Revise – Recognize the negative consequences of this received identity.
5. Strategize – Identify Little Wow Moments (LWMs) that challenge dominant narratives.
6. Restory – Collect LWMs into a New Story—one that is no longer bound by the past.
7. Publicize – Build a support system that reinforces this New Story.

David Boje: The Visionary of Organizational Storytelling

Revolutionizing How We Understand Narratives, Change, and the Future

🔥 "David Boje’s storytelling imagination burns with the fierce energy of a volcano, generating more insights in a few pages than others display in whole volumes." – Yiannis Gabriel, University of Bath, UK

David Boje is arguably the world’s leading scholar in organizational storytelling—a thought leader who has revolutionized the way we understand narratives, change, and leadership. His groundbreaking work has inspired academics, executives, and change-makers across industries, influencing how organizations craft and reshape their stories for transformation.

A Thought Leader in Storytelling and Change

🔹 "David Boje is one of the most innovative thought leaders on organizational change and narrative methods."– Nikhilesh Dholakia, University of Rhode Island, USA

🔹 "Boje’s work has powerfully influenced how researchers engage with and understand organizations." – Heather Höpfl, University of Essex, UK

🔹 "He leaves no stone unturned in his profound and gifted way of dissecting and explaining the variety and complexity of storytelling." – Ed Breeding, Painter/Writer/Documentary Filmmaker, USA

Boje’s research moves beyond traditional storytelling methods. He introduces antenarratives—the fragmented, emerging stories shaping organizations before they become full-fledged narratives. His quantum storytellingframework merges philosophy, pragmatism, quantum physics, and shamanic traditions, pushing the boundaries of how we think about the past, present, and future of organizational narratives.

Why Boje’s Work Matters Today

🚀 "Boje brings storytelling to the quantum (or postmodern) era—the era of uncertainty, indeterminacy, and complexity." – Haridimos Tsoukas, University of Cyprus & University of Warwick, UK

🚀 "His book breaks new ground by proposing alternate methodologies for how many storytellers—not just omniscient managers—may impact future courses for organizations." – Usha C. V. Haley, West Virginia University, USA

🚀 "Boje reminds us that the story about one set of interests may override all others—but it need not be so." – Maria Humphries, University of Waikato, New Zealand

Boje’s work is a call to action for leaders, managers, and researchers to embrace storytelling as a tool for change—not just as a way to interpret the past but as a powerful mechanism to shape the future.

A Master of Narrative and Pragmatic Storytelling

📖 "The brothers James would be delighted with Boje’s work—James for its weight on narrative, Henry for its pragmatic approach." – Barbara Czarniawska, University of Gothenburg, Sweden

📖 "Boje takes storytelling to a stratospheric level, offering an extreme depth of understanding of what storytelling is really about." – Ed Breeding

📖 "More than anyone else, David Boje has sensitized us to the importance of narratives, plurivocality, and storytelling in organizations." – Haridimos Tsoukas

📖 "Boje combines elements from philosophy, quantum physics, and shamanism—showing how storytelling has been used in both ethical and unethical ways in organizations." – Jerry Biberman, University of Scranton, USA

📖 "Boje presents different approaches to storytelling and takes quantum storytelling to the next level. This book will certainly inspire those looking for new innovative ideas and methods." – Eero Vaara, Hanken School of Economics, Finland

A New Era of Storytelling in Organizations

Boje doesn’t just analyze storytelling—he challenges the status quo and pushes for transformation. His research uncovers hidden power structures within narratives and helps organizations navigate uncertainty and change.

🎭 "In this groundbreaking work, Boje systematically rejects mainstream conformism and moves towards open sources of responsible civic convivialities." – Slawek Magala, Rotterdam School of Management, Netherlands

🎭 "Boje applies deep insight and astounding creativity to connect the strands of theory, punctuated with significant examples and important stories." – Jo Tyler, Penn State University, USA

🎭 "If you care about people, stories, and organizations—read this seminal book." – Jo Tyler

What You'll Discover in This 7-Week Journey

💡 The Before Antenarrative Process
Who wrote your past? How has your personal and business story been shaped by forces outside your control? This week, you’ll deconstruct your Before—the history that’s been handed to you—and start uncovering your own microstoria.

🔥 Finding the Little Wow Moments
These are the small but powerful events in your past where you resisted, succeeded, or saw things differently. We all have them. Most people ignore them. Entrepreneurs who embrace them transform their lives and businesses.

🚀 Restorying: Rewriting Your Past, Reimagining Your Future
The past is not fixed. Each new event, each bold decision, and each new story you tell rewrites what came before. In this session, we dive deep into the power of storytelling to reshape your identity and future success.

🌍 Beyond the Elevator Pitch: Telling a Story That Matters
You’ve been told you need a 30-second pitch. That’s a corporate lie. Your most powerful entrepreneurial tool is a story that connects, transforms, and builds trust. This week, we shift from "selling" to "storytelling-driven conversations" that inspire action.

💬 From Trauma Narratives to Empowered Narratives
Many entrepreneurs are stuck in a trauma narrative—a story of why things didn’t work out, why they failed, or why they’re not good enough. We break free of unconscious blocks and create a new Before that empowers instead of limits.

🔮 The Bets on the Future: What Story Are You Writing Next?
You’re not just rewriting your past—you’re placing a bet on the future. How do you turn your new story into an actionable strategy for your business, relationships, and personal growth? This final session ties everything together with a new entrepreneurial narrative that is truly your own.

David Boje’s story is one of resilience, integrity, and a lifelong commitment to justice and authenticity. Financially secure with a fully paid-off home, cars, and retirement accounts, David’s true wealth lies in his values. For him, freedom means never becoming a sleazy exploiter who ruins lives or the planet.

Take, for example, while undergoing cancer therapy, his mailbox was raided, his retirement identity stolen, and $30,000 was taken by a syndicate. That’s sleazy. Or at his last university, where top faculty were harassed out of their positions to make room for low-paid, part-time staff. That’s exploitation.

In contrast, David has dedicated his career to ethical service. He’s volunteered as a consultant for Nickerson Gardens public housing, counseled military families through PTSD with storytelling, and empowered homeless veterans to earn income by acting in theater. He has exposed corporate duplicity, from Enron's deceit to Walt Disney exploiting Ub Iwerks, Nike’s sweatshop labor, McDonald’s and Burger King’s harmful narratives about diet, and Apple’s reliance on child labor for conflict minerals. Through his work with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW), he continues to fight against modern-day slavery in agriculture and advocate for worker-driven corporate accountability.

David believes that the planet and humanity deserve better than the endless pursuit of wealth. His story isn’t just his—it’s a call to action for anyone who wants to make a difference by doing True Storytelling.
