“You can have a great product, but a compelling story puts the company into motion. If you don't have a great story it's hard to get people motivated to join you, to work on the product, and to get people to invest in the product.”
Ben Horowitz, Andreessen Horowitz
Our Services and Approach
Imagine your employees bringing their authentic selves to work. Imagine them coming to you and each other with a more collaborative spirit, a greater sense of innovation, and a more courageous heart to address and mitigate risk instead of ignoring it. Consider the power your team has as ambassadors of your company, conveying its unique strengths. Storytelling creates avenues for authentic behavior and expression that is professional and delivers more competitive edge against organizations that don’t understand its value.
The organizations we’ve worked with have been extremely varied, but they all have one thing in common: a commitment to delivering the best to their employees, clients, and stakeholders, and a belief that storytelling is an essential part of fulfilling that commitment.
For one-on-one consulting, we believe there are limitless ways to tell a story that you're burning to tell. Just like there are at least a half dozen versions of "Batman", stories are told over and over again with different interpretations, approaches--and even Batmobiles. Maybe you want to find a balance between vulnerability and comfort, or humor and sincerity. Maybe you're looking for the "right" story to tell. Wherever you're starting, the question is, what fits you best?
My approach is empathetic and personalized to give you a better ear for the music of your own unique story. Going beyond "tips and tricks", I'll help you understand and lean into your personal style in addition to bringing your story to its fullest potential. In the process, you'll hone your instincts as a storyteller, empowering you to develop stories independently, and deliver them with confidence for any occasion.
Your stories your way.
