Intro and a question to get started
Hi everyone! I'm Laura Nespoli, founder of a strategic storytelling consultancy with the purpose of helping brands, individuals and leaders articulate their stories for business and personal growth. I'm self-publishing my first book, Threads of Me and You in May 2026. It is a memoir/manual that combines my personal transformation story with practical exercises that help readers unravel limiting patterns and weave growth into their existing lives without burning everything down. I'm new to this community and I want to get the most out of it, but know that I will struggle without some structure. On top of publishing my book, I'm also in the process of creating an app that combines my go-to-market storytelling expertise with personal transformation work. (Most ambitious leaders don't realize self-doubt and lack of confidence in owning their brand story is one of the biggest barriers to marketing success in their business.) And on top of the app, I also have a 9-5 job leading strategy at marketing consulting firm. I'm curious to hear if anyone has any guidance on how to make the most of this community for time-limited people. I haven't been good about leveraging communities I've been a part of in the past because I'm so limited on time and have an ever-growing to-do list. Time blocking? A regular schedule? What works for those of you who are juggling many roles? (Assuming that is most!) Happy to be here! Thank you.
