We remember stories better than facts.
Vivid stories. Powerful stories that invoke emotion.
In schools we are taught how to read, write, and solve math problems. But how many classes focus on having difficult conversations, dealing with emotions, negotiating, listening, helping others feel understood, developing good habits, prioritizing our time, focusing, and other soft skills?
The Problem
The more people I meet, the more people I see struggling with these soft skills, especially as we become more ingrained in technology. With a lack of education available in traditional schools for these soft skills, many people don’t know where to go.
Absorbing information from podcasts, internet browsing, and attending conferences can certainly help, but there is SO much information out there that it’s virtually impossible to find quality knowledge. Even if the knowledge is found, it’s usually told vs shown, making it harder to understand and retain.
The Solution
Storytelling can solve this problem. Short stories have the power to take you on memorable journeys. At the same time, stories can share fundamental principles, like soft skills.
My superpower is making understanding easier through storytelling, and my mission is to create a library of these stories for anyone looking to better understand themselves and the world. Through my stories, you can follow the journey of a honeybee named Eva as she learns how to avoid becoming fragile in Embracing the Wild, or one of a mouse named Martin as he learns to manage a team in a high-seas adventure to save his daughter in Journey to Enya.
If you’re looking to hone your soft skills and better understand the world while at the same time getting lost in a story, I invite you to subscribe to my newsletter or give one of my books a shot.
