Make sense of your life’s work and finally explain what you do clearly.
A focused 90-minute session for experienced professionals who know their work matters, but struggle to put it into words in a way that truly reflects it.
The Real Problem
You’ve done meaningful work.
You’ve built experience.
You’ve seen things others haven’t.
But when you try to explain what you do ... something feels incomplete.
You hesitate when introducing yourself
Your message sounds smaller than your experience
You rewrite your LinkedIn or bio over and over
You know there’s something deeper, but you can’t quite land it
It’s not that you lack insight.
You haven’t made sense of your experience in a structured way yet.

Meet Your Story Guide
II'm Steve DeVane – a journalist for 35 years, a facilitator by nature, and someone who spent a career helping other people find the words for what they'd lived.
That last part is the one that matters here.
Most accomplished professionals don't struggle with expertise. They struggle with translation. They've spent decades building something meaningful, a body of work, a way of seeing, a set of hard-won insights, but when someone asks what they do, what comes out is a fraction of what's actually there.
The Signature Story Breakthrough exists for that gap.
It's not a branding exercise. It starts upstream of any bio or website with a structured conversation where I ask the kinds of questions I spent 35 years asking in newsrooms. The story you've been circling, the underlying theme underneath everything you've built, is already there. Most people just need someone outside their own experience to help them see it.
Within 48 hours of our conversation, you have it in writing. One foundational story, ready to use.
If your work deserves a description that matches its depth, I'd be glad to help you find it.
