... And you change the world.

The objectives
listed below reflect the convergent missions of the
sister banners of the story coach / wind
&
thunder productions in initiating innovative social and media
related product and resource development along with equally innovative
catalyst demonstration projects for social and media
advocacy that focus on: |
| 1) |
Enhancing the individual and collective abilities of all
entertainment and media
professionals in generating creatively and commercially viable story
and media projects |
| 2) |
Enhancing the individual and collective abilities of all
entertainment and media professionals in both successfully navigating and
positively impacting the industry as they go |
| 3) |
Providing innovative strategies, conceptual frameworks, and forums for
focused resource development and proactive impact on the changing
entertainment / media industry and world
at large |
| 4) |
Taking
the respective and combined powers of story and media to non-media
industry arenas as integral components of strategic
planning and development, social entrepreneurship, personal
development, and applied social change |
| 5) |
Specifically bringing the tools and power of story to youth, families,
and marginalized populations to help transform their understanding and
ability to effectively navigate a
changing world as they proactively define their voice and
place in it |
| These
activities occur in part through diverse trainings,
forums, and live events provided through the banner of
thestorycoach.com that expand visibility and impact through
the endeavors of Wind &
Thunder Productions and its related publications,
media production, and documentary work for potentially groundbreaking
resource development, coalition building, and demonstration projects for converging the power of story, media, social
science for social entrepreneurship / applied social change.
These events and resulting media are offered
for all those interested in succeeding in and/or
effectively shaping the media industry and the rapidly
converging worlds it seeks to profit by and serve. They
are equally relevant for all those who simply see their
private lives to corporate worlds as stories in the making in
which they seek to play a more active role as empowered author
and guide.
Many of
these activities revive some of the previously projected
resource development and coalition / network building of
the HBO project referenced
elsewhere on this site.

"Patrick Horton is a deeply insightful coach
with the power to make a script sing. He's mastered a vibrant and
immensely practical approach to story that lets your tale unfold
from your heart, as it was meant to. He's also a very wise man
who's reconnected me to the wellsprings of why I write. There's no
one else like him out there. Believe me, I've looked."
David Miller, Screenwriter |

"Patrick
Horton's knowledge and positive energy are absolutely
contagious!"

"We
already had attachments to our project, but Patrick Horton's coaching
helped me connect on a crucial emotional level. From there
the script really came alive."
