I love working with those who dream of inspiriting others –through motivational speaking, sharing your story of overcoming challenges or guiding others through transformations as life coaches, we all believe in the power our story has to help others.
I’ve done all kinds of writing over my career: newspaper, radio, advertising copy, military, business and over the past ten years: writing for web content, direct response marketing and as an author and ghostwriter.
Writing and photography was the right fit for me because I could always be behind the scenes – either photographing a wedding or writing someone else’s story. The most difficult writing for me was sharing my personal challenges and revelations. My own stories and photographs were too personal, too meager, too boring.
Finally I decided my story was just as important – and in striving to be more transparent – I’ve learned that my experiences (both good and bad) should be shared to help others accelerate their goals and visions.
