One way to define story is that it’s a series of events. Without question though, everyone will have countless lived experiences that are unique to them. This is what makes storytelling so radical. By definition, radical means fundamental or essential. Everyone can be a storyteller by sharing their personal experiences. Storytelling creates a space to acknowledge, analyze, and embrace the root of who we are and we are all essential.

My focus as a storytelling coach is to help you craft stories where you can share the insight and wisdom of your lived experiences. Storytelling coaching will provide a space where you can reflect on your lived experiences, authentically express yourself, and embrace your creativity so that you can build community, create powerful conversations, and inspire others through your words.

Storytelling coaching can support the development of your story in the following ways:

-Identifying a message that you want or need to share

-Constructing a roadmap

-Establishing the milestones

-Amplifying spaces for emotional connection

-Weaving in engaging dialogue

-Incorporating your authentic voice

-Showcasing your cultural identities and strengths

-Structuring pace and movement

-Exploring lasting impact

-Refining your story

-Practicing your story

-Documenting your stories

Life coaching is a helping profession focused on supporting you (the client) in achieving your hopes, goals, and aspirations for your personal and/or professional development.

My focus as a coach is to create space where you can:

-Expand your awareness

-Identify a vision of where you want to be

-Clarify who you are and how you want to show up in the world

-Lean upon your strengths, knowledge, skills, and insights

-Understand your belief about your capabilities

-Develop an ambitious attitude

-Track your journey

-Embrace your identities

Our first couple of sessions will be dedicated to identifying a topic that you would like to explore. This could be a topic that has been on your mind or we can spend time brainstorming.

I supported people with:

-Exploring cultural identities

-Fostering creativity

-Deepening spirituality

-Practicing mindfulness

-Building meaningful relationships

-Promoting advocacy

-Embracing self-expression

An overarching goal will be created once a topic has been identified. The following coaching sessions will focus on achieving your main goal through smaller action items. This is known as scaffolding in the field of education. We will check in on the progress and assess what adjustments can be made. Over time, these smaller action items will eventually help you in accomplishing your main goal. Once you achieve your overarching goal, we can end our work together or explore a new topic if you like.

Life coaching is a client driven process and achieving your goal is dependent on a couple of factors such as the size of your goal, the time you want to commit to your goal, as well as your energy level that you put in. You can help me help you by coming into each session prepared and with the readiness and willingness to explore during our coaching sessions.
