I think the biggest mistake that many of us make is to confuse the facts of someone’s life for the story of their lives.
And notice I said “us” because, as much as I hate to admit it, I have been guilty of this miscalculation.
The best-case scenario with this error in thinking is that we miss out on learning about the emotionally rich and complex interpersonal lives of others.
After all, these are where the best lessons lie.
And in the worst cases, we end up defining others by one or two factors that hardly tell the full story which leads to a ruined reputation or worse.
Put simply, when we boil others down to a set of labels, we almost always lose the forest for the trees.
But my guest this week doesn’t just see the forest, she helps others grow their own.
Honorée Corder is the founder of Honorée Enterprises Publishing, a strategic book consulting and coaching firm.
She has published over 50 books, including contributing to the best-selling Miracle Morning series.
Honorée has worked with dozens of aspiring nonfiction authors to help successfully craft, write, publish, launch, and market their books.
She began her career in direct sales before beginning work as a business and executive coach until she discovered what she calls “her true love” - writing books.
Honorée now works with business professionals who want to write a book to boost their brand, get more business, or simply share their stories with the world.
We discuss the power of narrative, how sometimes it’s the unasked questions that speak the loudest, and what it means to succeed in spite of the labels we’ve been given
Enjoy the show!
