The Story Starter Kit: Your First Step Toward the Story That Sets You Apart

If you’ve ever struggled to explain who you are or why you do what you do, you’re not alone.

The FREE Story Starter Kit is your on-ramp to storytelling clarity. It’s a quick-start guide to uncover one meaningful life moment and shape it into a short, powerful story you can use right away.

Using a simple journaling prompt, a fill-in-the-blank story framework, and a practical AI-powered tool, you’ll turn your experience into a story you can share in a social media post, an About page bio, or a podcast or keynote intro.


What’s Inside the Kit:

✅ One guided journaling prompt to uncover a meaningful personal story

✅ One fill-in-the-blanks framework to shape that story into something compelling

✅ One AI-powered “story refinement” tool that helps you polish your story for real-world use

This is more than a writing prompt. It’s a story breakthrough in miniature.

The Story Starter Kit gives you clarity, confidence, and a compelling message, and it’s the perfect preview of what’s possible in the full Story Breakthrough Method.

Meet Your Story Guide

I’m Steve DeVane — a former journalist, a lifelong storyteller, and a ghostwriter for growth-minded leaders.

After 30+ years writing for newspapers, publishing inspirational books, and helping others tell their life stories, I’ve learned something powerful:

The most impactful leaders don’t just talk about what they do — they share the journey that shaped them.


The Story Breakthrough Method was created to help purpose-driven coaches, speakers, authors, and spiritual leaders transform their personal growth into meaningful, magnetic stories — the kind that move people, build trust, and open new doors of influence.

If you're ready to bring your voice and values forward, I’d be honored to guide you.
