When I was six, my teacher told my mum I couldn't read. Mum questioned me, and I explained that I read much faster than everyone else, so I was always skimming ahead of the class to read what came next. When it was my turn to read aloud, I never knew what page we were on! By the time I was 12 years old, I had read all the books in the Children's Section of the local library. My mum requested an adult library card so I could access books from the adult section. With an adult library card, a new world of words opened up for me. I have always loved books, and I love words. Words have power. 25 years ago, in 1998, I founded my business - 'Put It In Writing,' and found my true vocation. My words flowed everywhere: biographies, social media profiles, magazines, and newspapers. Obituaries for people I'd never met, and even 'Mother-of-the-Bride' speeches, policies and procedures, bylaws, and more. In 2016, I took on an assignment that gave me and my words a new purpose. A client asked me to develop a curriculum for a Leadership Academy. Part of that curriculum included a module where I instructed the participants on writing their bios. In 2020, an international business group hired me to present my bio class to its members. They then asked me to develop a series to follow the successful and popular 'Bye, Bye, Boring Bio' class. 'The Write Stuff Lab' was founded amid a pandemic when communication could not have been more vital. If you struggle to find the right words, 'The Write Stuff' Lab and I will help you to 'Put It In Writing' and take your writing projects off your to-do list and into your 'I don't have to worry about it anymore' mindset!
