Meet Ana Nenadic
Ana Nenadic did for me what I get paid to do for you. She listened. She asked beautiful questions. She answered my curiosity with Yes/And… I think this is my most favourite conversation I’ve had about story in the last year or so. We met at a business networking lunch and just hit it off. There’s at least 25 years between us and yet, walking and talking with her feels like hanging out with an old friend. And I mean old friend. Like the kind of friend you don’t see for decades but you pick up where you left off because you have history. We don’t have history. It’s cool.
Have a listen to our conversation. My youngest often says to me, ‘Mom, what do I say to people when they ask me what you do?’ I say… ‘Tell them I’m a story coach’. ‘What does that mean?’, he asks. ‘This‘, I’ll say. ‘This‘.
The four books I mention in this podcast are:
- Soldier of the Great War – Mark Helprin
- Women Who Run With The Wolves – Clarissa Pinkola Estes
- Human Kind – Rutger Bregman
- Coming Together – Dr. Shannon Waters
