In The Day the Sun Hid, Story Coach Lisa Bloom helps us see how, working through our darkest moments, we will ultimately find light. It comes from the support of others, our persistence, and recognizing that our path out of darkness is a process, not a leap.
Story Coach Lisa Bloom is the go-to expert on business story-telling. For decades she’s helped entrepreneurs master this important but overlooked skill. InOnce Upon a Business, she’s turning her attention from the craft of storytelling to the stories themselves — the densely evocative folk and fairy tales that we’re all exposed to.
In each episode of Once Upon a Business, Lisa tells a fairy or folk tale and then extracts rich business lessons that are applicable for entrepreneurs of all stripes. As she puts it, a tiny tale of nine sentences can encompass worlds.
So, come now. Gather around the fire. Lisa’s about to begin….
“We can trust that the light is always there, even if it's hidden. And that one action leads to another, and an unforeseen situation can create that change we want so desperately.”
"I felt the darkness and really struggled to understand how I was going to find light in all this. But the end of the story carries a hopefulness that light can come from unexpected places"
– Lisa Bloom
