My mission at Story Makers is to make the world a better place, one story at a time. I'm a speaker, trainer, story consultant, and author of three books: Lead with a Story: A Guide to Crafting Business Narratives that Captivate, Convince, and Inspire; Parenting with a Story: Real-life Lessons for Parents and Children to Share; and Sell with a Story: How to Capture Attention, Build Trust, and Close the Sale. I help build leaders at work, character at home, and inspiration for both. How can I help you? I've personally interviewed hundreds of people from over 25 countries around the world, including CEOs, executives, statisticians, teachers, fighter pilots, engineers, bankers, comedians, nurses, sales people, consultants and scientists. I was looking for those profound moments of clarity in their careers and personal lives where they learned an absolutely essential lesson in leadership, sales, or in life — one worthy of passing along to the next generation of management, or the next generation of humanity. I’ve spoken to thousands of people in dozens of industries and countries around the world. I have a range of offerings from short keynotes and workshops for large audiences, to half-day and full-day training seminars for small groups, to individual coaching and consulting for executives who want help crafting their leadership or sales stories. Whether you need to inspire an audience of 1,000 or teach a single executive to be a better leader, I can help.
