How it works
CONSULTATION
Every storycoaching package begins with a free 30-min zoom or call, so we can talk about your project, your goals, and how I can best support you.
Then you choose your package, and we get to work!
MY APPROACH
Whether you’re shaping a memoir, finishing a play, or preparing to step onto a keynote stage, coaching with me isn’t about formulas. It’s about finding the story only you can tell—and helping you tell it with clarity, power, and heart.
Here’s what sets my coaching apart: I combine live zooms or calls with a unique feedback system—
> Personalized audio notes. You'll hear my voice, thought processes, and suggestions in real time.
> Transcript of everything I say.
> Action summary so you know exactly what to focus on next.
It’s like having a director at your side—personal, practical, and focused on results. And if you need coaching beyond the writing, we can work on performance and presentation. -
What are you working on?
PLAYS & MUSICALS
Whether you’ve already got an entire draft or you only have the spark of an idea, I can provide dramaturgical guidance and precise coaching on structure, character, suspense, dialogue, and theatrical action. One-acts and full-lengths, ten-minutes or one-person, we can bring your story to life.
MEMOIR
Most of the authors I publish at Ibis Books are first-time memoirists. From concept and structure to helping you pull out the most impactful memories and turning them into captivating writing, I can help you tell your story!
KEYNOTES
As with plays, I can provide big picture coaching on turning an idea into a full-fledged keynote or give you nitty-gritty editing on a fully drafted speech. I can also provide you performance coaching, including vocal warm-ups, elocution tips, and presentation dynamics.
OTHER VARIOUS SPEECHES
These are some of my favorite projects! Do you need to introduce a guest? Open a gala with a captivating welcome? Offer the toast at a wedding or reception? I can help you with the structuring, the writing, and the performance.

Guarantees
Full disclosure: there are no money-back guarantees.
Why not?
Because in the storytelling biz, if someone promises you specific results, they are lying. For two reasons.
One, you can’t control the audience and readers. All you can do is offer, with integrity and no expectation.
And two, the results are far more dependent on your work than mine.
I cannot guarantee that you’ll do the work. Or that you’ll test my advice or have the courage to start, the stamina to edit, and the willingness to present. I cannot guarantee that you’ll spend the time to make our calls and implement the strategies. A coaching relationship means both sides invest to make sure it works.
Here’s what I can guarantee. I will root for you and your story with all my might. I will offer every bit of insight and storytelling advice I can, with no attachment to what ends up working for you. It will never be about what I want, only ever about what will make your story impactful. I can guarantee I will do my best to coach you up so far you’ll no longer need me.

You covered more ground than any speaker I have heard talk to the club, but in a heartfelt, light, well-delivered way. Thank you again.

Jason was awesome in helping with putting my thoughts about the bride and groom together. I had a LONG list of discombobulated stories, anecdotes, and qualities I wanted to talk about, but no idea how to structure it into a coherent public speech. Jason took the weight off my shoulders and executed it flawlessly.

In the past ten years, I have attended many events in which speakers of varied organizations have spoken, and Jason is heads above the others. He was well-spoken, interesting, and so very enthusiastic!

ONE MORE THING…
There is no such thing as an ordinary life.
I’ve been fortunate to work with a wide variety of professionals operating at the top of their game, from Tony Award-winners to Green Berets, and from C-Suite execs to IT-specialists and entrepreneurs.
But here’s the thing: storytelling doesn’t care about your accomplishments. It cares about whether you can make your audience care.
And if you can make your audience care? You can achieve deep and abiding change in them, in yourself, and in your community.
That’s what drives me: the belief that our stories are the best way to connect us, whatever may divide us. Stories empower. Stories enrich. Stories clarify. They are how we make sense of the world. They are how we access our humanity. They are how we heal, how we learn, how we grow.
I initially got into theatre because there was a built-in social aspect. My family moved a lot when I was a kid. I didn’t have consistent or deep friendships. Until I found theatre in high school. The power of collaboration, of a group pulling in the same direction, and not just to “win” but to create an experience that impacted an audience.
I stayed in theatre because I daily saw in real time the power of storytelling.
I left full-time theatre not because I didn’t believe in it anymore, but because there are so many other ways to tell stories, and I wanted to bring my experience to people who didn’t necessarily think they were creative or artistic.
There really is nothing more powerful than simply telling your story. Whatever yours is, whether it’s on the page or on the stage, I can help you craft it.
