Let me tell you a story . . . .

Usually just the word is enough. And if the mere mention of “story” doesn’t grab your audience, the telling almost certainly will.  People on the move pause expectantly. Tools are laid aside temporarily. Keyboards cease their clatter. As if by magic, a story and its teller have once again moved center stage.

If you like stories and storytelling, you’ve come to the right place. If you’re a business owner, a teacher, a coach, a pastor or a leader of any capacity who wants to harness the power of storytelling, you’re right where you belong.

For me, storytelling is the story. Since the early 90s, it has been the explanation behind how I have successfully led Armstrong International, Inc., a faith-based multinational company serving Fortune 500 companies around the globe, to the most profitable years of its century old history.

I’ve written books about storytelling and been the subject of feature articles. I’ve spoken on radio and television about storytelling and to live audiences eager to discover the power simple stories can have in shaping lives and companies. Now, it’s your turn. You’re in the right place, so look around and make yourself at home.
