Q: How did you get interested in storytelling?

A: While I believe that narrative has resonated with me for most of my life, I became fascinated with storytelling during my PhD program. In an organizational-behavior class that focused on postmodernism, I learned that storytelling is being used as a communication tool in organizations. I became mesmerized by applied storytelling and started blogging about the topic in 2005 at A Storied Career. I consider myself to still be learning; I want to pursue many more endeavors with storytelling.

Q: What other topics do you write about?

A: I primarily write about career-development topics and have written hundreds of articles and several books in this area. I write about academic issues affecting college students, such as study skills and college writing. You can see some of those writings here. I've written speeches, academic journal articles, and higher-education accreditation (AACSB) documentation.

Q: You hold a certification as a Master Resume Writer. Do you write resumes?

A: I operated a resume-writing service for five years but now write resumes only for a select, high-end clientele, mostly by referral. I also enjoy writing academic CVs and welcome CV projects.

Q: What are your teaching areas of specialization?

A: Management, organizational behavior, organizational communication, business communication, entrepreneurship, and career development.
