Modern-day parables

Every Friday at about 5.30am the alarm goes off and Andrew crawls out of bed - all in the name of business. And a good breakfast, because he's off to Oxygen Business Forum . It's a collective of like-minded business owners who were so fed up of the formulaic business clubs with their emphasis on how much business you could get from everyone who came, that they decided to form their own club. Aleady the members have run a mini-marathon to raise funds for Helen and Douglas House, a local children's hospice and have just adopted a school with the aim of giving something back to the community.

One of the members there is Hilary Farmer who practices Human Givens Therapy and teaches dyslexic students. She's got a master’s degree in education and firmly believes that we're all born needing essential things like love, security, fun and friendship. It's when those needs aren't met that things go awry. Hilary uses storytelling to gently get to the heart of a problem, and to help her client explore it.

Every week she comes up with a new story for the members of Oxygen. We thought you might like to listen in. We're hoping to bring you one of these a week. But for now, as the news of human tragedies in Burma and China comes in, and we worry about the credit crunch at home, please enjoy Hilary's take on the tale of the widow's mite - with a modern twist.
