Top Stories About Writing, Leadership, and Self-Improvement
Use these stories as fuel and inspiration

Every story you write is like a stone cast into a lake. Some generate a large splash, while others pierce the surface of the water with nary a ripple.
Over the past two years, I’ve written numerous stories about my three favorite topics: writing, leadership, and self-improvement. It’s tough to sort and group by those topics on Medium, so here’s a collection of my best stories on each of those topics — some of which made a big splash and some of which just made a small ripple.
I hope you find these stories helpful in your own journey.
