Now more than ever, your story is what your clients, and potential clients, want to hear.
Sure, they also want to know that you can help them. But so can the dozens of other businesses out there offering a similar product or service.
The thing that differentiates you is your company’s purpose.
The thing that keeps you going is your why.
I help you find your why and then together we beautifully communicate your purpose through your story, so your customers will know they’ve found the right match.
“Great storytelling can make the difference between someone paying attention to you and someone just tuning you out.”
– Christopher S. Penn

Water in an Insecure World
It’s a sunny March afternoon in the San Francisco Bay Area and it hasn’t rained in more than a week, so my neighbors are watering their lawn. And why shouldn’t they, with all of the rain that we’ve gotten in California this winter? There’s clearly not a drought anymore. If only it were that simple. […]
12 Ways You Can Support a Friend Recovering from a Traumatic Brain Injury
You want to help, but you’re not sure how. I totally get that. As my husband’s caregiver after he suffered from a concussion I know first-hand how important it can be to have your community support you and how confusing it can be for your community to know how exactly to do that.
Setback for Organic Livestock & Poultry
Last year I wrote a featured article on the proposed updates to the National Organic Program livestock and poultry regulations that would have covered animal living conditions, animal care, transport, and slaughter. These proposed standards reflect 15 years of discussion, feedback, and support from consumers, organic producers, and certifiers.
Rebuilding for Both of Us
Not to be dramatic or anything, but two days after returning from our honeymoon, I got a text from my husband that changed our lives: I need you to drive me to the ER. A knee to the jaw during jujitsu split Kevin’s lip, but the ER doctor was more concerned about his concussion symptoms, […]
Rule of Three for Survival
You’re out hiking and get a little turned around. Before you know it, night has fallen and you’re completely lost. Your cell phone lost service hours ago so you’re not sure if you’re 3 miles or 30 miles from your campsite. You realize you’re sleeping out in the wild tonight. What should you do first? […]
Urban Agriculture in Cuba – Organopónico Alamar
Agriculture in Cuba… I’d heard a lot about it, and done some research into before we left for our trip, but I still wasn’t too sure what to expect. I was imagining every little corner of the Havana covered in potted plants, with little courtyards overflowing with home grown veggies. While I saw some of […]
Ag/Water Nexus
The Central Coast is home to some of the most productive agriculture land in the world, accounting for over $5 billion in direct economic output in 2011 in Monterey County alone. Yet it’s also a biodiversity hotspot…
DPMI
First things first… what’s with all the acronyms at MIIS? Oh man, I just used another one! Seriously though, the school has an acronym (MIIS), my degree has an acronym (IEP) and this cool program I did over my j-term has an acronym (DPMI). But what exactly does it mean? Well, I’m glad you asked… Development Project […]
