“Everything great must have its story.”
--Found on a tin of Velamints.

In olden days when a storyteller comes to the end of her tale, she places the palm of her hand on the ground and says,
‘I put my story here so that someone else may take it up another day.”

What’s your story?

Stories can change your world. Make it better. Add wisdom. Provide meaning and stir up emotions and insight that you will rely upon and treasure forever.
Stories change minds, deliver messages, uncover the wrong or find the right and make life more memorable. And it’s those memories of stories that keep us all going…”
All of us have stories. Stories of times when we made a difference. Stories as unique as person telling the story. But like so many skills & art forms it takes a coach to bring out the best.
We are losing our ability to tell stories. Much of our history is being re-written, spun to an agenda. Generations have lost the ability to pass on wisdom, know how, kindness & compassion.
The oldest generation experienced life in ways never to be seen or heard again. Each individual was part of the power of that NOW.
You have a message. You have meaning to that message that needs to be passed on, not passed over. It is an important time to formulate your message and deliver that message in writing, but more importantly by word of mouth. To break the media cycle of human less communication and use the SPOKEN WORD to preserve and share your wisdom, hopes & fears, doubts & triumphs, and most importantly your unique POINTS OF VIEW. Speaking to groups, family or friends they need to hear as much as you need to speak your voice. We are not just aging; we have aged to being an elder, with a message, and its time to speak up.
Having reached the magical age of 60, I am is coaching those who wish to share their message. I deal with the fear of public speaking, assist with providing and editing content, connect with the 93% of communication beyond words, and shares the fun and meaning of your message.

What's your story?
