Storytelling
I began my love affair with stories in my high school creative writing class. Years later, after I had achieved some success as an author, I had the honor of returning to my high school to talk about writing stories. Stories were crucial in my speaking career, too. My best ones became part of my brand and helped me get hired to keynote at conferences around the country.

Today I teach storytelling skills. I coach executives how to use stories to lift up their message and inspire their workforce. I help technical experts find the story in their complex content so it is interesting and well received. I show TED speakers how to turn an “idea worth spreading” into an unforgettable story that catapults their careers. And I coach professional speakers how to write and tell signature stories that will be remembered and lead to more referrals.
