Patricia Ryan Madson, Part 2: Staying True to Your Vision

"I think form does matter, along with content and if you've got something really good to say, take the time to put it in the most perfect form you can find."--Patricia Ryan Madson

In the first part of this interview, Patricia Ryan Madson, author of Improv Wisdom, talked about how she started on her 20-year journey to crystallize her wisdom.

In this second part, Patricia gives us insight into what it takes to get to the essence of your wisdom and to find your voice. She also provides examples of unexpected results from getting her wisdom out in the world, including helping caregivers for Alzheimer's patients and providing tools for emotionally surviving a coma.  BTW--Notice how Patricia uses stories to draw us in and make us care about what her ideas can do for the world. Stories are powerful, especially in the hands of someone so genuine.

The second part of the interview starts with Patricia talking about staying true to your vision, even as one publisher with very different ideas dangles a large carrot. This part of the interview is under 12 minutes:

In the third and final part of this interview, Patricia and I talk about having visibility vs. having a community and moving into action. Stay tuned for Part 3.
