Your everyday stories can be your biggest sales tools

Ever read a story from a colleague or hear them speak from a stage and think, I could've totally written that? or, I wish I could've written that?

Don't let that happen again.

If you feel like don't have interesting stories or that you have interesting stories you don't know how to share... you're in the right place.  

It's time for you to write your authentic, true stories so you powerfully connect with your people.

I created this 6-week course so you can quickly write your best anecdotes and turning points to show you as the genuine thought leader or expert you're becoming.

Starting with the first session, you'll:

  • Generate stories for your book and your business to make people love you, trust you, and buy from you
  • Better understand yourself and your experiences so you can share them to inspire others
  • Turn mistakes into learning moments to show up with more authenticity in your business
  • Practice writing habits that will have you churning stories out like Stephen King
  • Master writing tools to crush writer’s block and unlock your creativity so you write your stories as good as they sound in your head
  • Turn your life experiences into memorable, engaging stories you'll want to immediately share

I always tell myself, that nobody would want to read a book written by me. Until today. Today I told myself, 'maybe they would.' Thank you, Cindy. I always will be your biggest fan.

I can’t begin to express the deep transformation that occurred in every aspect of my life

"I can think of nothing really to improve the course. The content was spot on."

Stop saying you're going to write your stories someday and write FAST

Your writing habit starts here

Give yourself this time to write every week so you don’t keep putting off your writing.

That won't write itself, and whether you've got a memoir, business book, or aren't sure yet what kind of book it might be... you'll have to write stories. A lot of them.

The great news is, as you write them, you can also test them in a blog, social media caption, newsletter, podcast, or video.

When you get feedback on what people liked most or found confusing, you'll have more ideas for additional stories and how to better shape those ideas into your book.

If you want to write your stories and get your genius ideas out there, I'm your best bet.

I created Authentic You for entrepreneurs to blow people's minds with your writing based on my doctoral research, because no one else is teaching what I know about how you can:

  • Stop staring at a blank screen and follow proven formulas to quickly write engaging stories
  • Get those great ideas out of your head and re-energize your writing to grow your authority
  • Grow your story skills to use dialogue, setting, plot, character, and details so you never write a boring story
  • Keep your writing momentum and re-use the story templates to create more engaging stories... to fill a book or keep your CRM scheduled with awesome content

I taught this content to Hewlett-Packard Enterprises, and their technical writers wrote amazing stories about software in just 15 minutes. Imagine what you can write.

Psst! The Elevator Pitch Makeover Jam is worth more than the course alone. 

Ready for me to show you how to write amazing stories in 15 minutes?

You helped me move the dial, Cindy

"The difference between telling a story that’s ‘interesting’ and one that’s powerful and impactful may only be in changing a handful of sentences. However, that minor adjustment may actually take something from moving the dial by millimeters versus moving it by miles. Your comments helped move the dial by miles… "

—Lauren Williams, Global Media Fusion

Stop staring at a blank screen and write (at least) six amazing stories in six weeks

Dr. Cindy, The Expert's Ghostwriter

Hi! I ghostwrite and edit bestselling books for entrepreneurs who want to make money and an impact. My clients have gone on to give TEDx talks, be fully booked coaches, and win book awards. My 16th client just launched her book, and I co-authored The Logical Law of Attraction (2020) with Helen Racz.

I designed the Story Success program based on my doctoral research about writing as healing and my The Write Your Book BlueprintTM framework I created and used with more than 100 authors.

Telling a transformational story is as much about what happened as how you tell it, and it's my mission to help people find the words to tell their stories with maximum impact. (and I do have a Ph. D. in English)

I also teach writing classes at Writespace Houston, and my husband and I enjoy fostering dogs and cats with Citizens for Animal Protection.

**10% of every sale goes to my Underserved Entrepreneur scholarship fund. When it hits $5K, I will donate that sum and match it in writing services for an entrepreneur in the developing world with The Off-Ramp 501c-3**

The rest is up to you...

You can keep watching webinars about being an author and waiting because that's easier.

Find an online book writing program that's fully automated so you can always start it, or never start it.

Attend a weekend event for authors and come home inspired, but without actually writing anything.

If you want to wait, the next time I offer this program the cost is likely to double.

Maybe instead of writing your stories yourself, you'd like to pay me more than $30k to ghostwrite it (happy to discuss that!).

Or ... 

You can reserve your seat now and instantly enroll via Credit Card.

You'll immediately get a welcome email with a Nice to Meet You form so I can learn about your goals for the course.

You'll get an invitation to the Facebook Group and Calendly invites to quickly put the sessions on your calendar.

By the end of the first session, you'll have a new story to share, and by the end of the course, you'll have six awesome stories and a clear path ahead to continue being the writer you always knew you could be.

Praise for
Dr. Cindy's Teaching

"Thanks to Dr. Cindy for the gift of reminding us that providing detailed descriptions of settings, characters and senses really does anchor the story we're looking to tell.

Tried it with today's prompt she gave us, and it was amazing to see how quickly it set the stage!"
