Defining the role of the story practitioner

This is not a recognised job title - yet! I hope that one day people will be taking degrees in story practice. This would be a sign that the world had, truly, come of age.

So if this were to become a recognised job title, how would the role of Story Practitioner be described? What personal and technical skills would be said to be important? What would the pathway to becoming a story practitioner? How would training be undertaken? I would be interested in input by others who call themselves story practitioners and those who find this subject even slightly fascinating.
