Storytelling for Impact

Those who tell the stories rule the world

Our societies are built on and shaped by narratives, compelling stories that inspire communities and nations to collaborate and thrive. Stories help to build trust. Crucial for leaders to convey, for clients and customers to feel, and for team members to create. Research shows that we remember information 22 times more if it is conveyed to us with story as well as facts.

Imagine the potential for your presentation / pitch / inspirational talk / negotiation in terms of its impact to persuade, motivate, influence, move people to action?

Resilience & Restoring Balance

Bend but don’t break

In a world that is constantly pushing us to do more, work harder, produce more in a more efficient way, how do we manage the stresses and demands placed upon on us by life without collapsing under the weight of them?

Rest is how you recharge, not how you endure

We talk loudly and proudly about the value of a strong work ethic, yet there’s hardly a whisper about one’s rest ethic. We need the balance of both to thrive.
