Best Practice Advocacy Centre New Zealand: “Seventh age itch: Preventing and managing dry skin in older people.” Master the art of STORYTELLING. Storytelling changes lives. Here’s the thing — everybody has a story. Can storytelling even be taught? Much of it is art, but much of it can be learned. Francine Prose opines it is a gift that can hardly be taught.
