Storyteller with A Purpose

Reflective. Inspiring. Powerful.

Don speaking to Vietnamese educators in Saigon during the war (1974).

Sharing Learning and Leadership Stories

From his interactions over the years with many different cultures, Don has come to recognize that stories are our primal form of communication.

We use stories to explain how things work, how we make decisions, how we view others, how we persuade others, how we understand our place in the world and how we create our own identity.

Don’s stories introduce us to Renaissance Pathfinders and Artistic Instigators with whom he has been directly involved. His leadership storytelling is used to connect, support and promote these leaders and to inspire others to emulate them.

Educator, entrepreneur, mentor and master storyteller… Don’s leadership storytelling is powerful, inspiring and provides much needed personal reflection in today’s busy world.
