ABOUT BRENDAN STEVEN

For fifteen years, I have been crafting content for executives and organizations—newspapers, senior elected officials, major brands, CEOs, and leading charities. Across many mediums, a theme has emerged in all my work: I mobilize others for the mission of institutions and leaders, using the power of good stories.My storytelling philosophy is inspired by the great Roman orator Cicero and his three aims of rhetoric: “docare, delectare, movere.\" To educate, to delight, to move.Good stories educate us, in the classical sense. They make us more fully human. When authentic, clear, and revelatory, stories broaden our understanding of reality and our sense of solidarity with others.Good stories delight us. They speak to our heartfelt need for ideals like truth, goodness, and beauty, and they thrill us to realize that we can bring these ideals to life.Good stories move us. They inspire us to action for manifesting ideals—to seize personal responsibility for the common good of our community. I am privileged to craft stories that inspire people to serve others as donors, philanthropic leaders, volunteers, advocates, and magnanimous citizens. I love inviting people to experience the joy of acting and living generously.This theme in my professional career is also the theme of my civic life. I have a deep passion for forming and mobilizing leaders for the mission of the Catholic Church. Through this work, my goal is to equip lay Catholics for the great work of bringing Gospel values alive in our spheres of influence.
