Origin Stories for Business
All origin stories, whether our own or our organization, tells us who we are and how we came to be. Working with them is a prerequisite for future success.
In our work, our business began as an idea, a vision, or an accidental discovery. From mom and pops, local businesses, non-profits, to major corporations, every brand has an origin story. Even departments have them. Your customers, clients and potential employees want to hear yours.
I work with organizations to help them understand the importance their story has on their culture, their clients and ultimately their success. Over the coming weeks, I’ll be presenting information on how you can work with your story.
In May I will lead a LinkedIn Live where I will interview Simon Knight, Strategic Business Consultant and former CIO, and Thelma Alane, industry leader working with accelerators and incubators. Sign up below to join our mailing list for updates and receive my paper: 5 Inciting Incidents That Say It’s Time to Change Your Story.

“Carrie is an excellent facilitator. She strikes a perfect balance between leading groups and allowing them to lead themselves to the conclusions they need. She is not recitent to allow discomfort during a meeting to propel a group toward a better conclusion. Her ability to read what is going on underneath what is spokenm, is priceless.”
