Story Vision: Plan your book
I’m a photography historian, so I love a good visual metaphor.
Three visual metaphors shape my philosophy of coaching and ground the services that I offer.
As a coach, I provide you with the tools to craft a VISION for your book, the support to FOCUS on your project, and the INSIGHT to help you see what’s working and what needs improvement.
