Patrick A. Horton,
PhD has been best known for the last decade in the media
industry, academia, and corporate worlds quite simply as "The Story
Coach" - consistently providing innovative and
radically empowering presentations, workshops, and
seminars on story and story / project development, along with equally
innovative and radically empowering private consultations and
writing for hire.
The
ground-breaking endeavors and interrelated missions include:
1)
Enhancing the individual and collective abilities of all
media professionals in generating creatively and
commercially viable story and media projects
2)
Enhancing the abilities of
media professionals in both navigating and impacting the
media industry as they go
3)
Providing innovative strategies and resource development for
proactively impacting the changing media
industry and changing world at large
4)
Taking the respective and combined powers of story and media to non-media
industry arenas as adjunct or integrated
components of strategic planning and development, social
entrepreneurship, personal
development, and applied social change
Dr. Horton
recently decided to put a greater portion his time devoted to other people's projects back into his
own work as screenwriter and creative producer under the banner of
Wind &
Thunder Productions. and
the social / media advocacy work that bridges the two banners.
This shift in focus allows for the creation of viable media
projects in their own right while expanding efforts at promoting
the integration
of story, media, and practical strategies for applied social
change. To
these latter ends, Dr. Horton is writing the book version of his
presentations and seminars, creating both academic courses and
media industry based forums and events for pan industry and
interdisciplinary resource / coalition / project development, and
generating concrete
demonstration projects to capture it all and carry it forward.
Much of this occurs
within the
Conversations on Contemporary Media Project, with the
continued commitment to bringing the best tools and
opportunities for success to those who wish to work in and/or
influence the media industry through presentations and seminars
on the paradigms and practices needed to bring it all to
fruition. All trainings, events, and forums are provided in association with
long-time collaborators, Write Brothers, Inc, and select media
industry related foundations, guilds, organizations, and
academic programs. Consulting, speaking, and writing-for-hire are available on a
select basis.
