Imagine being so clear on your story that you're actively seeking opportunities to share it -- not just for you, but for all of us.
Your story could change lives, but are you ready to tell it? 

Our new nine-week self-paced program will support you in getting clear on what your story is, who you want to share it and how it can be of service to our world.

You all have a sense that your story matters. Many of you have giving a TED talk on your bucket list or publishing a book, but you haven’t taken the foundational step of exploring your story and identifying and articulating your deepest held values -- YOUR WHY. Or maybe you've given those big talks or have a finished manuscript but still don't feel deeply connected to your story in it.  

Truly owning your story and being able to powerfully articulate it directly relates to the level of impact you make in the world.

Many people think their success has to do with being polished and not sharing what is really real for them. But when you take the mic and you share what is most meaningful to you, THAT is where your power is. But it isn’t always comfortable or easy to do it.

-- Did you know that Brene Brown gave one of the top TED talks ever, but in the days following this famous talk she stayed in bed riddled by embarrassment? 

-- Did you know that during Mahatma Gandhi's student life, he suffered from frequent panic attacks and had one particularly agonizing experience during a speech, where after reading one line from the message he had prepared, he could no longer speak and asked someone else to read the rest of the speech for him?

So, I am just saying, don’t feel bad that you feel anxious about telling your story publicly or that you might need support in taking this step. It’s very common and the truth of the matter is that preparation and practice and getting crystal clear on your story will make a big, big difference. And you need the space and time and coaching to do deep reflection work.

At the Million Person Project, we have worked with over 3,000 people from 70 different countries to move from fear of telling their story to powerfully telling it far and wide. We have now written a book and 15,000 copies are circling around the US and Europe and we are hearing from people every day that our tools are changing their lives.

But you have to be willing to do the work. It doesn’t just work to wish for a TED talk. You first have to get intimate with YOUR STORY and what is driving you to be the change maker you are. You need to give yourself permission to show up. And if you are going to show up as big and as beautiful as you are you need to be sharing your truest personal story. Our tools can help you do that. 

 Here Is What LEADERS Are Saying About This Story Work
"Since my time with Million Person Project, I have spoken on national stages every month. Doors opened that I could not have imagined. And oh, yes, I won the national fellowship with Nathan Cummings Foundation. It's been a beautiful ride that has helped me to see that I didn't need anything more than myself, my story, my truth, in order to be boldly great in the world."
-Jessica Norwood, Emerging Changemakers
"I am a big fan of Heather. She helped me dig deep into my own background in advance of my TED talk and identify the stories that made my speech a viral success." 
-Reshma Saujani, Girls Who Code
"Simon Sinek talks about articulating your why -- and Heather Box helped me find mine."
-Eve Smith, Smith & Co.
"Connecting with the Million Person Project was life changing. The work we did allowed me to create a bridge between the visual art that I have spent my life creating and the formerly silent personal history that I bring to my practice." 
-Caledonia Curry,  Artist
How did all this get started?

Hi! I am Heather Box and I am the co-founder of the Million Person Project and one of the teachers in this course. (That is me on the right. That is Julian on the left, the co-founder of the Million Person Project, and my partner. And that's our baby Roman in the middle, holding our second baby, our book!)

In my twenties, I was such a passionate social justice activist. I had the opportunity to speak a lot at rallies and community meetings and more. But it was a disaster for me because I ALWAYS got really choked up and felt terrible after I shared. I was overcome with emotion every time and I just felt like everyone thought I was weird.

I never stopped to give myself the time or space to really consider my story or craft my narrative. I never did the work to consider my WHY. I just shared other people’s stories and tried to be really supportive and enthusiastic.

Then!! Two amazing mentors came into my life. Marshall Ganz and Van Jones. These two incredible humans shared wisdom with me that would change me forever. Marshall shared with me that until you understand your personal story and values and what it is that is truly driving you, you won’t be able to connect with your audience authentically. And Van Jones gave me permission to change the way I saw myself. He said, "Who cares that you cry and get nervous?" How about if I changed the way I viewed my nervousness? He said, “What if you saw your butterflies and sweaty palms as a sign of your body getting ready to do something important?”

These two things got me to STOP and really do some deep personal work and dive in and ask myself some important questions: why was I walking the life path I was walking, what was it that I believed in most and why was that important to me?

My mentors' wisdom, guidance and encouragement helped me be able to powerfully present on stages across the world and it is what underpins our work at the Million Person Project. It was also this work that helped me to have the confidence and clarity to write a best-selling book on this very subject.

But here's the thing. The stages and the book came from the CLARITY on my story. There is no shortcut there. You need to fully understand your story and be able to articulate your deepest held values in a powerful and compelling way and THEN you can start building talks and writing books.

(This story work has also been SO, SO important to me and Julian as a team because we deeply understand what is driving each other and where our values are aligned and where our values are distinct! Story work is such important work for teams to do together.) 
This is what you will get from this course: 
1.
CLARITY ON WHICH STORIES TO SHARE
Clarity is everything.

So many people say if the microphone got passed to them today they wouldn't even know where to start in sharing their story. This course is designed to help you get deep clarity on your story and your values.
2.
UNDERSTANDING OF WHY YOU WANT TO SHARE
Understanding your WHY can open so many doors.

People often say they want to share to "help people." But why do you want to share it for YOU and your life? Do you want to be a thought leader? Do you want your story to help grow your business? Do you want to shift culture to be more open minded? You have to get way more intimate with WHY it is that YOU want to share and keep that front and center while you go on your storytelling journey.
3.
ARTICULATION OF HOW YOUR STORY CAN BE OF SERVICE
Telling your truest personal story publicly can change lives.

When you are totally clear on your story and why it is important for you to share, you can set your story free in a way that will be of service to others. We often say your story is not about what happened to you or what you did, it is about who you have chosen to be given that. And when you give yourself permission to share confidently and powerfully from that place, your wisdom and story will be of service to others.

We are working to respond to the needs of people across the world who who want to do story work at their own pace from their own home. We normally offer intensive one-on-one coaching  for 6 months at $9,000 and in-person workshops for $5,000+, but you have been asking for the opportunity to work with our team at a lower price point. So this is our new offer and we want everyone who wants to do it, to do it. We have some partial scholarships available if you require financial assistance.
