I changed the story I told about my life, and it changed my life.
Now I teach people to do the same with theirs — on stage, in a room, or in front of an audience for the first time.
The short version
Seven years in bed. Thirty-three doctors. A diagnosis I found myself, after I stopped telling the story where I was waiting to be rescued and started telling the one where I wasn’t.
That’s not a metaphor I apply to public speaking. It’s the same mechanism. The story you tell about yourself isn’t decoration — it’s the thing everything else gets built on. Most people have never looked at theirs.
Workshops
Speech Therapy
Storytelling and presence — pairs, groups, presentations. The people who say “I have nothing to say” are always wrong, and by the end of the session they know it.
For teams, universities, and conferences.
