“It’s the emotions the story pulled out of you.” – Lea Storry
Join Niiamah Ashong and Lea Storry for a live coaching conversation. Lea’s challenge: she came up through newspaper journalism and now writes people’s memoirs from the first interview all the way to publishing. She loves the work, and she gives her time away instead of valuing it, right when she’s ready to take her work up a few levels.
You’ll walk away with:
- Why a great story runs on emotion, not on epic events
- What your body tells you when you turn up the dial on what you ask for
- How to see whose value you’re really doubting when you hold back
