Rona Maynard
Rona Maynard taps the power of stories to open minds and build communities. As Editor at Chatelaine during the biggest re-branding in its history, Rona led the team that attracted a new generation of readers. Her truth-telling editorials were carried in wallets and taped to fridge doors. One of the first prominent Canadians to go public with a history of depression, Rona shares her story at podiums nationwide, proving that mental illness is no barrier to success. She is the author of a memoir, "My Mother’s Daughter," that Alice Munro has called “wonderfully honest and enthralling,” and the leader of a memoir workshop for first-time writers. By popular demand, she now offers a companion workshop on brand building through storytelling. [http://ronamaynard.com/]
