When people share their story effectively, everything gets better.

Team engagement, leadership, donor and client relations, and customer experience. The collective experience.

If you would like to have a conversation about this, let’s schedule a 30-minute discovery call.

The Power of Story

In a relationship economy, stories are the currency of conversation.

Humans are driven by a need to connect and to belong. As employees, leaders, and as citizens, we crave purpose and meaning.

When we effectively put our stories into the world, everything gets better.

Engagement, trust, understanding, inspiration.

It’s a human instinct to tell stories. We do it without thinking; therefore, you may not learn anything new in this book, but you will definitely think about things you haven’t thought about before.

Steve Jobs famously said, “The most powerful person in the world is the storyteller.” The most powerful story is yours. Let’s put the power of storytelling to work for you.

Lisa’s excellent work has helped us distill a complex message into something memorable and understandable. We love the name because it makes it relatable.

Getting from “here” to “there” is hard. Having the right person to take you on the journey from becoming who you are to who you know you can be is the best investment you can make. Lisa isn’t afraid to explore ideas, inspire new ways of thinking, or uncover dreams you’ve been hiding out of fear they wouldn’t work. Lisa helped our small nonprofit tell our story in a new and better way and she helped us discover who we really are. Thank you, Lisa.

Paige McGowan, Development Director, Better Together Animal Alliance

Thank YOU, Lisa! To have you on our team this past year has been such wonderful guidance that we needed. The speech (she) did was a crowd-pleaser due to your skill in finessing her story. I saw people wiping their eyes, and the hugs she received afterward was so heartwarming. You are the BEST.
