"Humanity's legacy of stories and storytelling is the most precious we have. All wisdom is in our stories and songs. A story is how we construct our experiences. At the very simplest, it can be: 'He/she was born, lived, died.' Probably that is the template of our stories - a beginning, middle, and end. This structure is in our minds." - Doris Lessing
We make your story come alive with our careful listening and preparation and high quality production.
ABOUT US
Our clients have something in common.
All engage in making the world better through writing, inventing, leading, volunteering, or sharing.
Our focus is capturing and preserving wisdom.
We work with you to identify the meaningful elements of your story.
Avoiding the drudgery and disappointment of writing a memoir that few will read, we help to organize and get to the heart of the story.
We can include photos, other video, awards, testimony of friends, letters and other memorabilia that will make a lasting and exciting story for family, friends, and the (world) if you choose.
A good place to start is with a Great Legacy interview.
VIRTUAL LEGACY INTERVIEW
Careful listening is our special ingredient. We work with you to capture the most important elements of your story. Your resulting interview will air on Legacy Channel on cable television and social media. It is distributed to your friends and family or colleagues and any others you prefer.
LEGACY INTERVIEW
We believe a legacy well told will be a guide and help for others. Sharing your history and ideas in a compelling and informative way will offer clues and insights to those you love and to those you may not know. We work with you to identify key elements and help you remember and select what you want to share. We take time to uncover memorabilia: photos and papers that may be important to your story. You'll be prepared to work with a skilled cinematographer and/or audio engineer resulting in a beautiful documentary. We provide social media exposure and distribution.
LEGACY INTERVIEW PLUS .......
Everything is included in the Legacy Interview with possible additions:
A beautiful companion book or ebook, a gala opening invitation only event for your bio documentary, translation into other languages, copies to major libraries and Library of Congress. We also participate in the Veterans project collecting stories for the Library of Congress.

Phyllis is a genuinely compassionate and thoughtful colleague whose professional skills inspire others. She is an extraordinary facilitator and communicator. She has an engaging manner that does not intimidate even on difficult issues within in the DEI workspace. She is a model of preparedness and deep intercultural awareness.

I have so enjoyed working with Phyllis, mostly as a media trainer. I've seen her take the most awkward clients and turn them into smooth(er) interviewees, helping them confidently present message points ... that's a true skill! I've seen her interview people that I know closely, yet I still learn new things through her thought-provoking questions and on-point interview style. She provides great vision and engaging dialog to every project.I have so enjoyed working with Phyllis, mostly as a media trainer.

Phyllis is the consummate interviewer and producer. She asks thought-provoking questions and brings out the best in the people she interviews. I've never been as relaxed in front of a camera as I am with Phyllis. She has a way of understanding me and what I have to offer perhaps better than I do myself. I've had the privilege of being interviewed by Phyllis four times and hope to be interviewed many more times.Phyllis is the consummate interviewer and producer.

I learned many valuable skills from Phyllis. I was consistently challenged by her to improve my training skills in a constructive way, and I owe her more than I can say in this brief space. Her ability to tune in with what her clients need and respond to those needs is outstanding. Her energy, intelligence and expertise can only be sensed by interacting with Phyllis.I learned many valuable skills from Phyllis.

Phyllis is a skilled and thoughtful interviewer who is a master at surfacing the salient points of those she's speaking with. She knows how to keep the conversation on track and deliver a complete and interesting story to the audience every time. Having known her for four years and witnessed her work often, I highly recommend her services to any person or group seeking to be professionally presented for TV or other forms of media.
