From Outlier's Edge Podcast with Niiamah Ashong Niiamah Ashong

"It's the emotions the story pulled out of you." - Lea Storry

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Lea Storry for a live coaching conversation. Lea came up through newspaper journalism, coast to coast to coast, and now writes people's memoirs, taking them from the first interview through writing, editing and publishing. She shoots for the top, and she's ready to bring her writing game to Canada's hockey players, athletes and the people making a difference.

You'll walk away with:

- Why a great story runs on emotion, not on epic events

- What your body tells you when you turn up the dial on what you ask for

- How to see whose value you're really doubting when you hold back
