Storytelling. It’s a powerful way to communicate to almost any audience. It informs, it motivates, it inspires, it has emotion – there are so many things a good story can do and everyone, and everything, has one to tell.I have been creatively telling stories for over 30 years – more if you count the times being caught coming home late when I was teenager. Through print design, video, interactive media, infographics and events, I have told stories that helped elevate brand reputations, stories that increased sales and reach bottom lines and stories that help form lasting change for children and families. Some of these stories were big and some were small, but all had the same outcome – provoking emotions that lead to action.I have long been the doer – always grabbing the reins and creating the “thing” that tells the story – it is what I have always loved to do and remains a passion of mine. I have found another love and passion - motivating and inspiring a team of creative professionals to go beyond what each of us can do alone. The power of collaboration and bringing together creative expertise from different areas not only can bring an idea to life – it can help it soar.This has not been a career path of mine, but a life path that bleeds into my career. Whatever seat I may occupy, my passion for creative storytelling and inspiring others to help tell those stories will always be a part of what I do.
