Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Ikenna Ngene is a storyteller who revels in using various fables and real-life stories to teach and inspire. Considering that there are stories all around us, for inspiration, all he has to do is open his eyes in the morning (or even close the eyes and dream).
He is the author of The Storyteller’s Student and currently working on a number of new books.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest (first) book is The Storyteller’s Student.
This was inspired by reading other business fables – specifically The one minute manager. Having enjoyed being taught in a story inspired him to use stories to help others become better storytellers.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
My best writing habit is snuggling up on the bed with my laptop.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Patrick Lencioni and Kenneth Blanchard. Fell in love with their use of stories to inform and teach.
What are you working on now?
Another business fable on company strategy and change
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
That’s a good one – I am constantly changing and trying to find an effective method of reaching out to readers. Ultimately though, I make use of social media.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Keep on writing – those stories must be told.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Steve Jobs says this of storytellers – “The most powerful person in the world is the storyteller. The storyteller sets the vision, values, and agenda of an entire generation that is to come.”
