Your Narrative Edge is the companion field guide to The Narrative Edge. Not a summary. A set of tools for finding, refining, and sharing the story only you can tell.
One email when it launches. Nothing else. No noise.
You underlined the parts that felt like they were written about you. You thought about the story you have been telling, the one you inherited, the one you never quite chose. You meant to start telling a truer version.
And then Monday came. The inbox filled. The story you meant to author stayed exactly where it was.
That gap, the one between knowing and doing, is the whole reason this Field Guide exists. The book opened the door. This is the work of walking through it, one honest page at a time.
Think of The Narrative Edge as the map and Your Narrative Edge as the boots. The book tells you why your story matters. The Field Guide puts you to work on yours.
Inside, you move through the same architecture I use with leaders, founders, and teams. The EDGE Method shows you where you are. The Five Rs show you what to do at each step. The Four Quadrants show you how to look at any story from every angle that matters.
And underneath all of it, you build the four things every well-told story needs.
By the time you close this Guide, your story will do four things it may not be doing yet.
It holds together across every room you walk into. The through-line stays the through-line.
It lands. It does not just inform people. It moves them.
You believe it, because you authored it. You did not borrow it from a title or a credential.
People who have never met you can read it. The story travels on its own.
Each one paired with a chapter from the book, from your origin story to your opus.
Story Excavation Worksheets, Six-Word Stories, Kitchen Table Conversations, and Bench Sessions.
Curated reading routes for the young professional, the executive, the founder, the manager, the personal explorer, and the coach.
Because the question is no longer whether the machine can write your story. It is whether you still know how to source it.
Leading through story, selling authentically, building story-driven teams, the founder’s narrative, transformation, and comeback.
A question bank, kitchen-table prompts, real-world scenarios, and an annual narrative audit you can return to every year.

It is, if you have ever sat in an introduction and led with your title because you were not sure what else to say.
It is, if the story your team reads off of you is not the one you mean to be telling.
It is, if you have built something real and watched the words around it stay fragmented, borrowed, or flat.
This Guide is for anyone ready to stop reporting their life and start authoring it. No title required. No permission needed but your own.
This is not the storytelling advice of ten years ago. The fourth industrial revolution is rewriting job descriptions faster than anyone can keep up, and a machine can now draft a polished version of almost anything.
So the Field Guide asks the question that matters now. If AI can generate the words, what is left that is yours? The answer is the part no machine was ever in the room for. This Guide shows you how to find it, and how to use the tool without losing your voice inside it.
Your Narrative Edge launches soon. Leave your email and you will be the first to hear when it is available, with no noise in between.
