It is widely known that stories work! It is the way we recapture and remember human experiences.Stories are part of our DNA. Good looks part of my DNA. Bad joke dont use that. Stories entertain, make a point, teach a lesson, or sell a service, product or idea. No matter how you slice it, everybody relates to stories. The right story will also sell YOU.

If you want to make a great impact, hear people saying I heard her speak 8 years ago we got to have her back or would you rather be remembered as, "Oh yah I remember her speak. Totally caught up on my sleep".

Do you feel, my life is so boring. Ive never climbed to the top of Everest, or overcome adversity, Ive never even had food poisoning. Ive got nothing interesting to say.That is the myth.

Im here to tell you that everybody has a story to tell and I cant wait to hear yours.
