Customers talk about you and yourbusiness. What do they say? What
would you like them to say? What is
your story, and how are you helping
people tell it?

Christian has superior written and verbal communication skills and he gets along extremely well with everyone he works with. He is highly respected, as both a person and a professional, by colleagues, employees, suppliers, and customers alike. Amy B. – Seattle, WA
Words come easily to me, and my gift is the ability to bend and massage language for many purposes. But a facility with words, a large vocabulary, and a computerized thesaurus is not enough.
The real magic comes from telling a good story. As a professional story teller, I can find the story in any melange of cold facts, and craft a message that will engage and enthrall your audience.
Christian is exceptional… He is empathetic without being emotional. He is clear. He can pull (what feels like) a zillion variables together and hone them into logical clusters and bite size steps. Not only the ideas, but the implementation of those ideas come clear after a session with him.

Visual media like TV news is getting shorter and shorter. Stories are told only in context of other stories. Sound bites rule the visual medium. It is with the written word that deep thoughts, engaging stories, and intellectual concepts find their true home and voice. The TV news may touch on a topic, but where do you go to learn more? You research and read. The human mind is naturally curious, and endorphins are released when we learn, so we seek information and opportunities to read and learn new things.
Unbelievably epic! Just when you think you know your city of ten years, you discover all kinds of cool new things. My tour guide, Christian, was effervescent with enthusiasm for the tour. He would draw you in with a whisper, and scare you with a BANG! Brilliant delivery, and brilliantly told stories.

Yes, it is true. My storytelling extends beyond the written word to also being a tour guide, and an emcee for fundraisers, etc! Finding new stories, threading them together into the existing narrative, presenting them in a captivating way, and leaving people with a visceral experience are all parts of a good story. Whether a story is read, told, or illustrated, good stories shine through.
What is your story? How can you excite your customers into spreading your story to their friends and colleagues?
