Humans have been telling stories since the beginning of time! Each one of us is filled with experiences, and through reflection, we frame these experiences as stories. As we move through life, stories shape the experiences we seek, the people we connect with, the things we are drawn to. There is a direct connection between our stories and our careers because stories describe, provide insight into, and reflect on the full expression of who you are and what matters to you.
