Why Work With Us?

Everything in this class, Derrick has first and foremost applied to his own life. In fact, he would not be an entrepreneur had he not set out to live his preferred narrative. Derrick developed this class as part of his innovation project (like a thesis) in his Master’s program. It was supervised by leading Narrative Practitioners such as David Denborough and Jill Freedman. But don’t just take it from us: time after time again, our clients express gratitude for how our coaching has impacted their lives. We know this process works, and the process is the purpose of what we do. Scroll down below to watch a testimonial video from some of the amazing clients who have been through this program!

Learning how to tell your story can equip you for whatever season of life you’re heading into. Storytelling helps us better navigate problems we are facing, make meaningful connections from our experiences, connect better with others, and ultimately live more intentionally. We provide a safe space for you to reflect on your experiences, identity, relationships, and sense of purpose. Whatever your reason might be for personal development, our Narrative Coaching can prepare you for what you want the next chapter of your story to look like.

Our class provides opportunities for you to explore your life through various creative art forms including: speaking, writing, literature, photography, illustration, film, music, poetry, and more.

As a Narrative Practitioner, Derrick seeks to be “de-centered, yet influential” in all that he does, believing in the power of collaboration. In addition to our weekly sessions, you will be challenged with practices and accountability to help you grow. We are here to be a support and a guide that empowers you to take an active role in your life and the story you want to live.

When is the last time you invested in yourself? We take out loans for car payments, go into debt over mortgages, but are we willing to spend our hard-earned money on ultimately helping us grow into better people? To make an investment that will last a lifetime? We believe everyone has a story to tell, and that includes YOU! No one should feel lost in their own story. Therefore, you have a right to better understand your life; we believe that by better knowing and telling your story, you can set yourself on the path towards ultimately living a meaningful story. The question you have to ask yourself is: ‘Am I worth the investment?’
