"Own Your Story" with Nancy Sharp an O-Town Reads Event

  • OTTAWA MEMORIAL AUDITORIUM 301 South Hickory Street Ottawa, KS, 66067 United States (map)

Our featured O-Towns Reads speaker this year is Nancy Sharp.
She is an author, TEDx speaker, storytelling, and Life Letters™ coach.
Marianne Cronin’s moving novel, The One Hundred Years of Lenni and Margot, provides the backdrop for an inspiring conversation about legacy. Tangible assets are only a small part of what it means to leave a legacy. “Research shows that the stories, family history, values, lessons, and memorable life experiences matter far more over the long-term,” says Nancy Sharp, speaker, author, and story coach for hundreds of clients and groups. Come learn about Life Letters™, a written expression of what matters most that can be shared with loved ones today and over time as well as one’s community. Ideally, Life Letters™ should be shared in one’s lifetime, even as a cause for celebration and a means to connect the generations.

Learn about the rich history that inspired Life Letters™ and the unique and creative ways they can be written and shared – as poetry, a recipe book, playlist, art, and/or through any lens that feels authentic to the writer, such as a hobby or symbolic object.
