Welcome to Communication Leadership. I am Cory Kemp, and I would like to share a bit of my story with you.
Ellie, my friend of thirty years, once pointed out to me, “You are just such a good liar . . . "
She wasn’t making a general moral statement, but observing a simple truth: She regularly forgot that I was legally blind because I was so good at pretending I was not. Fitting into a sighted, image-driven world had become a sink-or-swim full time job. But all that effort did not change the truth or the gift.
Until I could let go of what I felt had been unfairly done to me, I could not receive what was being done for me. When I was willing to let go of the false story of having ordinary physical eye sight, I could reach deep within myself and hold the true story of my own extraordinary inner vision, my “I” sight.
The truth is that I cannot pass a vision test to save my soul. But I am gifted at helping other people clarify their own inner vision to reclaim their lives because I have done so for myself.
Helping people identify their own false stories, supporting them in seeing their way through to appreciating, cherishing and celebrating their lives is how they come to the threshold of stepping into living their own life purpose. Transformational living at its most powerful starts here, with speaking truth to our lives, and I am honored to be blessed with this work as my life purpose.
But I would never have been willing to receive this gift, apply it in my own life or share it with anyone else if I had clung to the false belief that I had no choice but to fit myself in where I didn’t belong, or pretend to be someone I could not be to earn a paycheck.
I had to make a decision. At some point we all do.
What is your story?
You have chosen to live your purpose, share your message with the world and make the positive change that can only come through you and those you inspire.
Wherever you are on your transition to service and leadership you know the importance of clear communication. Without mutual understanding your actions do not manifest the results you desire. Precise language, aligned with focused intent, resonates deeply as supportive and life-changing with those you serve. This kind of communication starts with you. And in order to communicate and connect with those you serve, you need to make another decision.
Your thoughts are the place to begin.
To share your message and inspire those you are here to serve, you must first communicate and connect with yourself. Your communication and connection with yourself are your thoughts, your inner dialogue. This most personal conversation informs every aspect of your being, especially your life's work. It is your most definitive tool for connecting to the power of purpose and abundance in all that you do.Without that conscious connection to your inner voice you are disconnected from all that you can bring to the world, the very reason you exist in the first place.
What is your decision?
Are you ready to communicate with yourself, the purpose you were born to live and share with the world? If you are ready to establish your inner dialogue, connect your thoughts to your purpose and share your message with the world, I would like to offer you my support.

What working with Cory means . . .
"Cory has helped me see that enjoying a happy, calm life is a choice. I think of this each morning and several times throughout my day. When I reach the end of my journey, if I have continued to follow this pattern, I will have done my best. I recommend working with Cory as a communication coach. She truly listens, and is able to get to the real issue, even when I don't know what that is."

"This program really fits my needs. Unlike many studies that focus on a particular faith or way of looking at God, Cory's Communication Leadership approach met me where I believe and encouraged me to explore my experiences in the context of those beliefs. I can take the tools I learned here and use them for the rest of my life."

“Beyond doubt, anyone can benefit from this coaching program -- from the true beginner to the expert. Even with my decade-long writing practice I came away from the program pleasantly surprised and richer from the whole experience. The practice of journaling can give us access to a Presence that points to truth outside of anything our limited minds think possible. This Communication Leadership program reminds me of getting a booster shot - an injection of fresh inspiration into the core of my soul. And, my faith was refreshed yet again - a confirmation that each of us truly stands on holy ground.”

"After hearing about Cory’s work, I required our staff team to participate in her journaling class. We spent several weeks together journaling about descriptions, memories, thoughts and feelings, and faith. Our staff had a unique time together that developed us both as individuals and as a team. As we discovered more about ourselves and how we each view life, our relationships with each other were also taken to a deeper level. We had many opportunities to learn more about each team member in a very personal way. Our team is excited as we apply the things we learned together, and we begin to teach some of them in our recovery programs. We appreciate Cory’s perspective on faith and journaling and we are grateful to have had her lead us to a deeper place in our faith journey as well.”
