Testimonials
“Sometimes we introduce ourselves to someone new based on our preconceived notions of what we think they want to hear so we can generate feedback we ourselves want to hear. This program challenges the core of who you are so you can tell the real story of you, as you. And the beauty of it all, it evolves as you continue to develop.”
“I cannot recommend the PEAK Storytelling Program enough!! The book is a great mix between an actual handy tool and reference guide when you need to develop or tailor your story for the audience, and insight in Dr. D’s mind and how he’s been so effective helping professionals and students learn more about themselves to show the world. I, myself, am a professor and speak publicly often and HATE talking about myself. This program has helped me embrace my story, in all its parts/scenes/chapters, so that I can control how it is told, when it’s told, and why it’s time. Highly recommend it!“
“The Story Like You Mean It PEAK Storytelling Program takes you through the obstacle course of life and helps you make sense of it, then build and tell your story. It’s important because, without a method or system, people—as I say—tend to stay on the couch! This book gets you moving forward in life.”
“I was planning my first ever keynote speech and came across this program shortly before my talk. I had a strategy and plan for my talk, but when I went through the PEAK Model….I TRULY understood the value of my unique story and how this would make me more relatable…and captivate the audience.“
“Story Like You Mean It is brilliant. Dr. D.’s sense of others invites even me, who stories by nature, to consider how powerful language helps us showcase our unique gifts, talents, and motivations. This book is a must-read if you want to get to know yourself better, learn how to get people to listen to what you have to say, and change your life.”
“Dr. D.’s work gives people a structure to guide exploring their own key life moments en route to constructing a story worth listening to. His unique method of teaching storytelling changed the lives of so many people by teaching them to think about themselves and the world at large in an empowered way.”
