A generalist, Carolyn has worked in multiple industries, with a special fondness for associations and nonprofits.

It is alchemy and mythology, meaning-maker and guide. In the hands of an artisan, it is also emotional abracadabra. The next time you employ the power of story, ask yourself if the tale you are telling, or living, harnesses this power. If not, contact Carolyn for guidance. www.mcarolynmiller.com http://www.cultureshape.com
