We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Lisa Weinert. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Lisa below.
Hi Lisa, thanks for joining us today. Can you tell us about a time where you or your team really helped a customer get an amazing result?
Lisa, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
I am Lisa Weinert, the founder and author of Narrative Healing, a mindfulness-based approach to storytelling. I started this transformative program to help people like myself connect with our bodies, develop sustainable writing practices, and share our stories with the world in empowering ways.
Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with dozens of award-winning and bestselling authors as a writing coach, editor, and publicist. My path includes a nearly decade-long tenure at Random House and faculty positions at Wesleyan University, The Author’s Guild, Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health, and Omega Institute for Holistic Studies. I have also been a committed yoga student and teacher, specializing in restorative, therapeutic, and trauma-informed yoga.
I strongly believe that there is life-changing medicine in our stories that can heal us personally and as a society. Telling our stories and being heard is an essential part of our humanity, and I know firsthand that we can’t do this alone. While writing can seem solitary, it can also be a powerful way to connect. My work brings people together in ways that gently but profoundly awaken their stories.
I am excited to share that I have recently been awarded a merit scholarship to pursue an MSW at Fordham University. This opportunity inspires me to pursue clinical knowledge to enhance my practice further.
Can you share your view on NFTs? (Note: this is for education/entertainment purposes only, readers should not construe this as advice)
I’ve been lucky to share the passenger seat with an incredibly talented artist named Barry Sutton, who I believe is a true trailblazer in the world of NFTs (though I might be a bit biased as his wife ;). Being so close to his work and the wider NFT scene has left me in awe and deep admiration. Watching how NFTs are revolutionizing the art world, especially photography, has been nothing short of captivating. I’m convinced they offer artists immense opportunities to display their skills and engage with audiences in exciting new ways. One aspect that particularly inspires me is the strong sense of community and camaraderie among artists in this realm. Check out Barry’s work here: https://www.barrysutton.com/
What’s worked well for you in terms of a source for new clients?
In my experience, the most effective source of new clients is undoubtedly word of mouth. I’ve been fortunate to build a strong network of writers over decades in the industry, and this community regularly refers work my way. The trust and recommendations that come from within this network have consistently provided me with valuable opportunities and connections
