Hello! I’m Kate.
I help emerging thought leaders find, create, and share their best stories for fun and profit. Whether you want to grow your business, write a next blockbuster memoir, or tell great jokes at cocktail parties, I know how to make stories work for you.
Story Development
Experiences become unforgettable stories through a process. I can help you decide what to share (and what not to!) and how to craft it into a story people will love to hear.
Brand Strategy
Your brand is a collection of stories you tell about who you are, what you do, and who your customers are. Let’s build a story culture to rival Apple!
Writing Habit Coaching
Make that lifelong dream of becoming a published author a reality! I wrote my first book with a newborn and a full-time job. Trust me–you can do this!
Ghostwriting
We can call this service “intensive developmental editing” if you want. Your secret (and your story) is safe with me.
Speaker Coaching
I use my training as an acting teacher and professional speaker to help you take your talk from meh to mesmerizing!
Corporate Training
Do you know what stories your employees are telling about your company? Have a workforce that doesn’t know how to talk to people? Call me.
I believe in the power of stories.
Here’s why:
Stories are powerful
There’s an old cliche about the storyteller sitting around the fire sharing life lessons to new generations. Except…it’s not a cliche. It’s real. Humans have a long history of using stories to teach people how to connect, how to live, and how to fit in. New media gives us unprecedented opportunities to tell a multitude of stories–not just the ones the storyteller decides.
Stories are fun
I don’t know anyone who would disagree. It’s why we go to the movies and watch TED Talks and stream YouTube videos for hours. We build real-world experiences like book clubs and theme parks around stories.
Stories are HUMAN
Computers can do a lot of interesting stuff that makes our lives better. But computers can’t share offline stories (no matter what the machine learning folks tell you…) with the depth of feeling that allows stories to do their best work. Stories connect humans with other humans in a way no machine can replicate.
