“Everything great must have its story.”

What’s your story?
All of us have stories.
Stories of times when we made a difference.
Stories as unique as person telling the story.
But like so many skills & art forms it takes a coach to bring out the best.
We are losing our ability to tell stories. Much of our history is being re-written, spun to an agenda. Generations have lost the ability to pass on wisdom, know how, kindness & compassion.
The oldest generation experienced life in ways never to be seen or heard again. Each individual was part of the power of that NOW.
You have a message.
You have meaning to that message that needs to be passed on, not passed over.
It is an important time to formulate your message and deliver that message in writing, but more importantly by word of mouth.
To break the media cycle of human less communication and use the SPOKEN WORD to preserve and share your wisdom, hopes & fears, doubts & triumphs, and most importantly your unique POINTS OF VIEW.
Speaking to groups, family or friends they need to hear as much as you need to speak your voice.
We are not just aging; we have aged to being an elder, with a message, and its time to speak up.
Having reached the magical age of 60, Gary C Smith, is coaching those who wish to share their message.
As a coach, Gary deals with the fear of public speaking, assists with providing and editing content, connects with the 93% of communication beyond words, and shares the fun and meaning of your message.
Chronicling Your Story-A Tip
Telling and translating a story can start with a list, a tree-to hang your fruits upon, a really cool digital watch-to keep them in real time, or a mind map. The map starts with key idea, and then I armed with memories that lead away or toward more of who, what, when, how, and why you are.
Have fun being an omnificent writer, an engaged first person narrator, an impartial third person with video, or combine all three as in a dream, be the director, viewer and the star, even have a cameo role.
Get started today, tomorrow there will be one more thing to remember, put pen to paper NOW . For now you don’t need an editor and will never need a judge!y or Herstory
“In olden days when a storyteller comes to the end of her tale,
‘I put my story here so that someone else may take it up another day.”
