Have you ever faced a blank page, saying to yourself, "I know I need a story…a good story…for business. But I keep drawing a blank."
And most of the story prompts—those questions beginning "Tell me a story about" are not designed for business. They're designed to get your personal stories. So you get prompts like, "What was your proudest moment…" which rarely helps your business.
As I've said many times, a business story serves a purpose. It doesn't just amuse and entertain. It supports your strategy…which is rarely about helping you feel good about yourself.

Betrayal Season 5
Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
