SPEAKING
I've spoken on storytelling at organizations big and small all around the United States. My goal with every talk is to inspire and motivate my audience using storytelling as a tool for personal growth.
I'm available for speaking engagements, conferences, and keynotes. I also lead workshops with Jaron Jones, Ph.D. as part of Self Narrate.

TESTIMONIALS:
“Brandon is a skilled communicator who understands that empowering individuals, groups and organizations begins with active listening and valuing the unique stories and experiences that every individual has. These tools have elevated my clinical practice as an occupational therapist, my leadership ability as a manager, and my contentment and compassion as a wife, mother and friend.”
“My experiences with Self Narrate have been phenomenal. The art of storytelling is simple yet extremely complex. The Self Narrate workshop facilitates the ability to find purpose and meaning in your individual lived experiences and guides you through a transformational analysis process that enhances confidence, assertiveness and the ability to connect with yourself and others. I have applied these tools to my personal life as well as on an organizational level and found that the art of self narration encompasses a mind body soul approach to living with purpose. Brandon and Jaron are skilled communicators who understand that empowering individuals, groups and organizations begins with active listening and valuing the unique stories and experiences that every individual has. These tools have elevated my clinical practice as an occupational therapist, my leadership ability as a manager, and my contentment and compassion as a wife, mother and friend.”
“Self Narrate has been an exceptional choice in UF Hillel’s board development process. They have helped our team’s formulate each of our personal strengths, so that collectively, we could identify our distinct mission and tell our unique organizational story.”
