We can't take anything with us, but we can leave something behind: words outlive us. ~ C. R. Murugiah

Do you have something you want to say? Do you have a story or journey you want to tell?

Are you a businessman or woman who has gone through the struggles and successes, and want to leave a legacy to your children and children's children?

We are hardwired for stories. These stories are our testimonies. What we've been through, where we've come from, what shaped us into who we are, our experiences, our failures, our triumphs. They are a roadmap of our life.

Many of those I speak to of the younger generation don't know who they are, don't know where they're going, are terrified of making a wrong choice. They haven't been properly mentored, haven't been given guidance, and many of them scorn the very idea of mentorship. They want to do it on their own. They want to make it on their own.

I know this because I used to be one of them. Since then, I've grown up enough to realise how I can't get there by myself, how I need others, how the most valuable thing we can hand down is our experiences. Knowledge by itself is meaningless.

Wisdom by itself falls short.

Application is important, but knowing where the pitfalls are, knowing when to move and when to stand still, when to speak up and when to hold one's tongue, this is necessary but the most important thing, even above this, is your name. It is your character. Your integrity. Your reputation matters. Your reputation is built on your actions and on who you are. Your experiences help shape you; the values you hold, the virtues you characterise, these speak more than just knowing when or how to do a thing. Yet, the biggest advocate of your name, your reputation, is not actually you: it's those around you. How do they speak of you? When you're out of the room, what stories do they tell about you?

Hello, my name is Colin and I have been serving as an author coach for many years, privately to friends. I've been a writer for over two decades. Now I have expanded my horizons and I've begun helping businessmen and women to reflect on their life journeys, hold them accountable in writing their stories, and drawing out their experiences from them.

As a businessman or woman, you should understand the value of vision. You should understand the need for purpose. You should recognise how valuable integrity is.

Over the decades, there are only a handful of people I've met who see the need for vision. Many lack the means, the motivation, the message and don't know what to say or how to say it. If there is motivation, if there is means, which includes time which is one of our most valuable resources, then I can help you with what to say and how to say it.

I help you frame experiences as something to be learnt from.

If you have a book that you are called to write, called to share, I can help you put pen to page, fingers to keyboard.

How it works

I have one to ones with each client. Nothing we speak of is shared externally until you share it through your writing.

I sit down with you and interview you, work through my method with you, which is individually tailored and bespoke to each client using my framework, discuss goal-setting with you on a schedule that works for you and hold you accountable. I'll explain how to market it (if you're unsure) and when you have a manuscript, I'll put you in touch with my editor. Once you're happy with that, I can put you in touch with my translator if you'd like your work to be translated into Spanish.

You write the book.

I help you with techniques, tips, tricks, different ways of writing. I brainstorm with you and draw out the essence of what you're saying and help you expand upon and frame your experiences. If you don't know how to write, if you've never written more than 300 words in one go before, that's okay too: there are ways around that. If you have a voice and something to say, we can work with it.

What I don't do

I won't write it for you.

I won't publish it for you.

I won't market it for you.

In closing

I believe in establishing relationship and working closely with each client so that the book you write will be one you're proud to hand to your grandchildren long after you're gone, so your experiences and wisdom won't be lost.

If any of this sounds of interest to you, get in touch with me. I'd love to have a conversation with you. Of course, my time is limited, so appointments are subject to availability.

What are the experiences you want to pass along?
