Heidi Schultz, Ph.D.

I’m Dr. Heidi Schultz, a Professor of Business Communication & Storytelling at the University of North Carolina’s Kenan-Flagler Business School, where I’ve spent more than 25 years teaching storytelling and professional communication. My work focuses on helping students and young professionals like you turn ideas into clear, meaningful stories.

The Storied Me uses the same framework I use in my classes. And I’ve adapted here for a simple, effective, guided, self-paced experience. I’ve designed it to help you uncover your clearest, most authentic story …. one you’ll be proud to include in your college essays, scholarship applications, personal brand statements, job interviews, and other professional communication needs.

In today’s information saturated environments, stories are THE differentiator. So I invite you to cut through the noise and come ‘story’ with me!
