You’re special, thank you

Yes, it is that time of year: the tinsel is out, carols are playing and countdown clocks to Christmas are popping up everywhere.

It is also the time of year when I get reflective and grateful.

This year has been H.U.G.E.

I have had the joy of working again with long-time clients, welcoming brilliant new ones, and stepping onto stages that made my inner storytelling nerd do cartwheels.

A very special highlight for me was being named PSA Educator of the Year. That award felt less like a trophy and more like a promise. A promise to keep creating practical, joyful storytelling tools you can actually use on a Monday morning.

None of this would have been possible without my clients, mentors, writers’ group, family and friends. Many, many thanks for your support, the opportunities, the learning, the laughs, the referrals and so much more.

Thank you for reading, cheering from the sidelines, and for the work you do in your corner of the world.

You are super special to me.

So, as a small end-of-year thank you, here are two gifts for you:
• My Story Library: a growing collection of leadership and business stories you can borrow and adapt in your own way.
• 5 Sizzling Story Starts to Make You Unforgettable…in a Good Way – A video series on how to start stories so people lean in, not check out.

Very Happy Christmas, and here’s to a New Year filled with exciting possibilities. I’m looking forward to reconnecting with you in 2026!
