Sharon doesn’t coach from theory. She coaches from trenches, tears, hospital rooms, and rebuilding what was shattered.

Meet the Founder
Wendy Babcock
Founder & CEO of WHEN Stories™ | International & TEDx Speaker | Author | Creator of the Legendary Women in Business annual event.
Wendy Babcock is the founder and CEO of WHEN Stories™, a speaker development and authority-building experience that helps women entrepreneurs, coaches, consultants, speakers, authors, and experts turn the stories behind their work into powerful speaking assets.
After more than 20 years in healthcare, Wendy reinvented her career and became an international and TEDx speaker, author, and speaking and storytelling strategist. Her work is built around a simple belief: your story shouldn't end when you leave the stage.
Through WHEN Stories™, Wendy helps women identify the defining moments that shaped who they are, develop those stories into signature talks, and share them on a professionally produced live stage.
But the stage is only the beginning.
Wendy developed The Authority Trail™, a story-first approach that turns one speaking experience into an interconnected body of authority through professional video, podcasting, publishing, media, speaker visibility, and ongoing opportunities.
The stage is the moment. The assets are the momentum.
