Wise Counsel
The Power of Personal Story
What is Wise Counsel?
Everyone gets to a place in life where they feel stuck. Even though this is discouraging, it is a normal part of life. Why?
Life is a story that is governed by six common rules.
- You were born into a context not of your own choosing.
- You experienced an event that created chaos in your life.
- Although you try, at some point this chaos becomes too great to manage.
- To bring order to this chaos you must resolve the pain of your past.
- Your past can be redeemed to discover your purpose.
- Consistently living with purpose is the key to make your life work.
I call these six rules The Science of Story, because they are true for all of us.
I’ve used The Science of Story to help thousands of people discover how life went wrong, why they keep repeating the same harmful behaviors, how to rethink both their past and future to start doing what’s good for themselves and those connected to them.
I can help you too! Contact me to learn more and start getting some wise counsel.
John Witte, Founder and President, is a graduate of Baylor University. Together he and his wife, Linda, lived and worked cross culturally in Eastern and Southern Africa with their four children for 17 years. It was the people of Africa that first began teaching him about the power and timelessness necessity of story and that stories are one of the most important traditions we possess. John served on staff at a one of the largest and most dynamic churches in San Antonio as a teacher, counselor, and mentor before he began Wise Counsel.
When not speaking, writing, and counseling, John is working on his ranch in the Texas Hill country. His all-time favorite story is Braveheart, and his friends and colleagues all know him as Witte.
