Episode 60: Camille DePutter has always been a storyteller. Whether it was writing the editors of Archie Comics to correct their grammar, or developing key messages to convince her parents to let her have more candy, at a very young age she learned the importance of telling a story, and telling it well. She is part poet and part pragmatist. She’s worked as a communications expert in marketing, advertising, public relations, and in-house, and through the years she has helped business leaders gain followings and build customer bonds with authentic, articulate, artful communication. She has also learned first-hand the power of telling one’s own story: of sharing our most significant, transformative moments, or capturing the memories and experiences of our loved ones. These are the stories that make us who we are – but sometimes we need help telling them. When she says she writes with heart, she means that literally. She was born with a heart condition. For about thirty years she tried to hide the story of her own heart. Today it is her signature story: a defining experience that she uses to show herself to the world, and help others do the same.
