In this week's episode of the Sage Sayers, I’m narrating Chapter One of the Perfect Novel of My Life. This narrative coaching and mental fitness exercise builds discovery of our inherent gifts to the world and the gifts, knowledge, and the opportunities within each challenging situation.
I learned this exercise through the Positive Intelligence mental fitness program under the training and leadership of Coach Shirzad Chamine. I loved the experience so much, I created my own hybrid version combining journalism, narrative coaching, and storytelling.
The result: Self awareness. Storytelling excerpts no marketer can possibly find and confidence. Also, comfort and clarity from knowing the source of our strengths and values and how and where we learned them.
Enjoy Chapter One, based in New Zealand's wilderness and chronicling excerpts of the first five years of life and all that was swirling around me as I grew up.
