You know your strengths and that your work is top notch, but explaining what you do to "outsiders" is different. You don't know how to tell your story, and it's stories that hold others' attention. They are how we all make sense of the world.

We've been working for decades with folks to tell their stories - and feel more comfortable doing so - and we can help you, too.

1. Meet with you to clarify your current situation and goals, to find out what you need and how we can help.

2. Develop a specific plan to identify the tools, tactics or training that will bring you the quickest, most effective results using interactive exercises and storytelling tactics, or for digital marketers, introducing software that will work for you.

Imagine being in a meeting - or an informal situation like a company party or just the iconic elevator - and feeling completely at ease, letting them get to know you -- and like you -- so they trust you, and are keen to do business with you. You win!

3. Provide the resources you need to reach your customers or community with confidence, clarity and impact.
