Testimonials

Participants at a Creating Through Loss Workshop

Covenant Village of the Great Lakes

The workshop led by Dr. Madvig was a time of recovery for many of us who had buried losses but not forgotten them. We were surprised at how many losses were recognized, acknowledged, and then talked about in our small groups. The challenge to keep on sharing, growing and learning was much appreciated.

33 Weeks of Ordinary: Find the Extra in the Ordinary

Brian Madvig’s ability to tell a story is absolutely captivating. In his storytelling, I am drawn in by the humor and the honesty that connect with my own story. Through his authenticity, I am able to remember pieces of my own story that I have pushed away.

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.
