Don't start with Why. Start with Story.

Everyone has a story . . . which means anyone can be a storyteller. Because storytelling isn't just an art . . . it's a science.

So what if you had a scientific method for sharing your insights? What if you could break free from the "Page Fright" and perfectionism holding you back? What if you had access to storytelling strategies proven to empower your message and inspire your audience? (Okay, maybe that was too salesy . . . But you get the point, right?)

In "Start With Story," you'll find storytelling methods and actionable writing tips that have helped new authors write bestselling titles, win awards, scale businesses, develop keynotes, and share their expertise. Topics include:

• The 3 Purposes of Story.
• The 4 Qualities to enrich stories.
