Welcome to Storytelling with Impact
Whether you're just starting out on your storytelling journey, or have a story in hand that you feel could be more impactful, the goal of this newsletter is to support you in achieving that goal. And if you’re someone who’s sitting on the fence when it comes to sharing a personal story with others, hopefully this publication will inspire you to finally make that happen. Trust me, the world needs to hear your story!
Sharing personal stories is a fundamental aspect of our shared human experience. In fact, the person we’ve become has been profoundly impacted by personal stories that we've heard along the way. In a similar manner, the stories we’ve shared with others played a role in shaping who they’ve become. Storytelling is a two way street.
Crafting and sharing a personal story is an act of self-discovery.
Few people realize this simple fact before they go through the process themselves. I’ve seen it happen time and time again. As each of my clients goes deeper into their story, peeling back the onion, as the expression goes, they begin to see their life differently.
That’s why I’m here, publishing articles about how to tell your story and highlighting some of the most impactful stories that I run across. We learn by telling our stories, but we also benefit greatly from hearing others share their story.
A bit about me…
After a long career in the corporate world (I’m a former c-level executive whose life was saved by storytelling) I transitioned to producing TEDx events, and in turn, to coaching speakers from all walks of life — scientists and engineers, academics and students, entrepreneurs and business leaders, Navy SEALs and prison inmates, etc. I’ve led storytelling seminars and workshops, as well as taught a university course. Simply put, my passion is storytelling, and helping you become a better storyteller.
The fabric of storytelling…
As you read the articles and experience the highlighted stories, my hope is that you’ll gain greater clarity in regards to finding the message at the center of your stories, and get inspired to finally share your story!
