A note from Robert
I open my schedule once per year to offer these special Story Discovery Sessions to a limited number of applicants. These sessions are at no cost to you.
This is a special time for us to connect, share your challenges with visibility and storytelling, and learn how we can put your story out into the world.
Story Discovery Sessions are a safe container to explore your fears, struggles, hopes, and dreams.
