As a child, did you ever lay gazing up at the clouds, or sit staring at the linoleum kitchen floor until faces emerged?

I did.

As a child, I loved when the winter blankets came out. Not to get in them, but to pile them into landscapes for my toys to inhabit or to build forts to play in.

As a child, we see stories everywhere, tell them often, and live in them unapologetically.

As a child, the world is Story.

As an adult, I forgot that.

As an adult, I thought stories were books and movies.

As an adult, I was often anxious when telling a story, or worse, so self-conscious that I didn’t listen to a friend’s.

As an adult, I would rarely let myself be fully immersed in a story.

Turns out, that’s a mistake.

We are hardwired for Story.

Story is the tool our subconscious mind uses to make sense of the world. It is the tool of our imagination, of collaboration.

Story is our tool for Change.

BeSpoken is about rediscovering your curiosity, developing your craftsmanship, and telling your story.
