33 Weeks of Ordinary: Finding the Extra in the Ordinary

I like Brian’s reflections on everyday life. A work of fiction uses metaphor or allegory to state the author’s perspective. Brian’s stories are more authentic and relational, which gives them more meat to chew on.

It was an awesome evening. Thanks so much for including us! We found your stories to be very meaningful and moving. I will definitely be on the lookout for speaking opportunities to refer to you!

I know Brian. After hearing some of his stories, I find them very relatable. They are well told. Besides, I am always looking for illustrations to use when I have to speak somewhere. He has some good ones.

The Power of Story

Story has the power to connect, change, and develop both persons and businesses. Brian provides ways to discover and tell your own personal or corporate story, and then helps you develop the skills to listen to the stories of others. Listening to others and developing your own story help create connection within your business and with other businesses. It can also help you draw closer together in personal relationships.
