“As an entrepreneur and businesses owner, it was never my job to write creatively—only to think creatively. But I developed a deep desire to tell my story. When I heard about Charles Euchner, I called. After an inspirational initial conversation, we set up a two-hour coaching session. In those two hours I learned more about writing than I had in an entire lifetime. Charlie quickly set a framework for my work, with an easy system to keep me focused and clear-headed.”
—Lesley Roy, Yale Initiative in Religion, Science, and Technology
“Working with Charlie Euchner gave me the high-leverage skills and strategies I needed to write my first book. Working with a short sample of my work, Charlie identified a number of simple principles — and, more important, ways to apply those principles – as I organized my story and produced drafts. We worked together for about four hours to identify and fill the gaps in my repertoire.”
—Tania Von Allmen, author, Return of the Phoenix
