33 Weeks of Ordinary: Finding the Extra in the Ordinary
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.
Life Coach
Charming and witty, Brian lights up a room with his presence. Capturing his audience with his stories. Brian has a way of holding a whole room full of people. This evening gave me new insights and clarity with my own journey. Thanks Brian.
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.

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.

…You opened up doors and windows for us which needed opening. Thank you, thank you for expanding my horizon and for giving me plenty to ponder as I move forward in my employment and my life journey.

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.

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.
