What Did You Say? What Did I Hear?

"DIANE IS A KEEN STORYTELLING PROBLEM SOLVER BECAUSE SHE LISTENS DEEPLY, QUESTIONS WITH EMPATHY, AND BELIEVES THAT THE CLIENT HAS THE ANSWERS TO THEIR COMMUNICATION CHALLENGES. TRUST DIANE TO FIND THE STORY, LISTEN IT OUT OF YOU, AND GUIDE YOU TO A BETTER STORY." ... MANY OF US tell our stories from the perspective of what we do, the tasks we complete, and the great things we deliver. However, we forget that we are human beings with stories to tell to connect with other human beings and their stories. Our stories and the power of our human voice attract us to each other and attract our clients and audiences. FOR 30 YEARS I’ve helped professionals take their story from a message only they could hear to the publishing world, the courtroom, hospitals, board meetings, the airwaves, and more. Stories that swayed juries. Built markets. Spread ideas. Changed things. TODAY I HELP others become successful story influencers. It’s a niche the world needs: helping socially conscious professionals and organizations succeed by discovering and delivering their authentic story messages to connect with, engage, and influence their audience. HOW DID I EARN THE RIGHT TO CARRY THE STORY MEDICINE? I know struggles. I offer solutions. Over the years as an incest survivor, a professional woman in male-dominated professions, growing up with generational myths about the role of women, I lost my voice, had it taken from me, felt it compressed and constrained. I silenced myself only to learn that language is power when it is brought to light and life. When we discover our one true authentic voice, we shape our personal or professional story, mission, or vision so we are seen, heard, understood, and listened to. When we tell our story to advance our business, create clarity in life choices, give life to our ideas, we connect, engage, and influence our audience with our courage, confidence, conviction, and creativity.
