Hi, I'm Douglass! My wife and cofounder, Lisa-Marie, and I help business communicators create better content faster, using 3 proven StoryHacks that can be learned and applied in 3 hours or less! But it's what you remember and use AFTER our training and coaching that really counts. That's why, we want you to walk away from every session with at least one, go-to tip that's so helpful you continue to use it and share it with colleagues and friends. Our mantra is "less theory, more doing." Here are the immediate benefits of our 3 StoryHacks: StoryHack #1 helps you get unstuck, even if you have writer's block. StoryHack #2 helps you find the right words, even if you freeze up in public or the teleprompter goes out. StoryHack #3 helps you nail your next pitch, presentation, or speech, even if you feel overwhelmed. For more, check out our resources page at communicate4impact.com, where you'll find free stuff and more ways to learn. In addition to providing training and coaching, Lisa-Marie and I have also authored a 5-star business storytelling book on Amazon called Win With Decency, which takes five must-have principles for storytelling and applies those principles to business. Those principles are Humility, Empathy, Vulnerability, Gratitude, and Generosity. I've been profiled, cited, or written about in publications like PR Daily and others. I've spoken at TEDx and other events around the world, and since the pandemic, we've been on an ambitious and successful podcast tour. If you’d like some tips about guesting on a podcast, please reach out. A little more about me: I'm a husband, father, as well as an awesome backyard football player and playground basketball player with my 5th grade twins. I read the New York Times online every day. I'm a nighttime Netflix and Amazon Prime binge-watcher with Lisa-Marie. I try my best to get in my 10,000 steps a day. And in the last 6 months, we've adopted not one but two rescue cats from Paws Crossed in Elmsford, New York. One is an 8-year-old cat named Skyy and the newest addition is a kitty named Storm. I'm active in our local Episcopal church as well as in the Episcopal Diocese of New York.
