MY
Story
It was springtime in post-COVID America. By all outward appearances, I had it all. I was a highly successful corporate executive leading a big initiative at a top company. I had advanced degrees, licenses, and credentials in business, financial services, and law. I lived in a comfortable home in a nice neighborhood. I had family and good friends who loved me. And yet, for all my outward success, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was missing something. That I was meant to contribute more. But what?
To find the answer, I stepped away from my corporate career and embarked on a season of exploration. That journey led me to write my own story in a book called Up from the Water, which you can read here.
When Up from the Water hit best-seller in its debut week and began to win awards, I knew I had something unique to contribute. Through the process of writing my story, I had come to understand more deeply how powerful the telling of stories can be. Not only can a well-crafted story change the perspective and even the life of a reader or a listener, but the process of writing and sharing our stories can transform our own lives and the way that we connect and interact with others in a profound way. This had been as true in my corporate and business development career as it now was in my book.
I now offer my time, talent, and experience to help others discover and develop the power of their own unique stories. Let’s craft yours together!
“You are the perfect person to tell your story.”
– Lin-Manuel Miranda
