About Dr. Helane

How I got here

Well, I do deal in stories. I'm an English Professor who writes about healing, the sacred, community, and belonging.

After 20 years, I considered sailing into academic retirement, but something started brewing in me.

Have you ever felt a calling well up in you?

So I fasted, I prayed...and I was reminded of a story.

>>The Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25:14)

That's when I realized that multiplying wasn't just about doing more stuff. And it's not just about money either.

Multiplying talents is about transforming the outcome of income.

God deposited talents in me (projects!) that I wasn't even using. Then He showed me the vision formula I needed to curate space for myself to do the work.

So in my Second Season, I began to blend my talents & projects into a profitable personal brand that captures ALL of who I am.

I've turned what I learned into owning several businesses and a franchise. But I still deal in stories. And what matters most is YOU. I love the deeper creative connections I've made through teaching, speaking, writing, acting, and directing.

Now, I'm helping other Creatives blend and multiply their talents into profitable brands too.

Why work with me

to build your vision?

I know how Creatives & Academics think AND how we work...

-We share our passion work publicly;

-We use our work to unpack and interpret the world;

-Our work is often interdisciplinary or multimodal;

-A lot of our best work is done in isolation.

And that means:

-Confidence is KEY.

-Connecting is essential.

-Prioritizing is challenging.

I get it.

If you want:

-a blueprint & accountability;

-to access your authentic voice;

-a clear, coherent, unique brand;

-to ditch the distractions;

-to create meaningful impact & more opportunity;

-a strategy grounded in your values;

If you want to curate a Second Season of abundance, authenticity, and joy!

Then YOU are a Vision Builder too.

I'm so glad you're here!
