Story Coaching

Transform Your Story Into Your Strategy

Your story has the power to change everything—your career, your influence and your legacy. However, most accomplished women struggle to articulate their unique value in a way that truly creates a lasting impact. They downplay their achievements, apologise for their messy paths, and wonder why others with similar qualifications seem to get more recognition.

The truth? It’s not about what you’ve done. It’s about how you tell the story of what you’ve done.

Why Story Coaching?

As a published author of 15 books and a leader with 25 years of management experience, I’ve discovered that the most successful women aren’t just excellent at their work—they’re exceptional at sharing their story strategically.

Story coaching isn’t therapy, and it differs from traditional career coaching. It’s a specialised approach that helps you:

  • Uncover your unique narrative thread that connects seemingly disconnected experiences
  • Transform “failures” and pivots into compelling evidence of your adaptability and wisdom
  • Develop confidence in sharing your achievements without feeling like you’re bragging
  • Create strategic stories for different audiences and opportunities
  • Position yourself as the obvious choice for the roles and recognition you deserve

My Approach: The Authentic Story Method

Drawing from my experience as both a published author and executive communications strategist, I’ve developed a proven framework that combines narrative craft with strategic positioning.

Phase 1: Story Archaeology (Sessions 1-2)

We dig deep to uncover your core experiences, values, and transformation moments. This isn’t just about listing achievements—it’s about finding the golden thread that makes your journey compelling and unique.

What We Explore:

  • Your origin story and what shaped your values
  • Pivotal moments that defined your leadership style
  • The challenges that became your greatest strengths
  • The themes that run through your professional journey

Phase 2: Narrative Development (Sessions 3-4)

Together, we craft your signature stories using proven storytelling techniques. You’ll develop multiple versions of your narrative for different contexts—from elevator pitches to keynote presentations.

What You’ll Create:

  • Your compelling 2-minute, 5-minute, and 20-minute story versions
  • Industry-specific variations that resonate with different audiences
  • Stories that demonstrate your unique value proposition
  • Frameworks for sharing achievements with confidence

Phase 3: Strategic Implementation (Sessions 5-6)

We ensure your story works as hard as you do by developing practical applications for real-world opportunities.

What You’ll Master:

  • Interview storytelling that makes you memorable
  • Networking conversations that create lasting connections
  • Speaking topics and content that position you as a thought leader
  • LinkedIn and bio content that attracts the right opportunities
  • Board readiness and executive positioning narratives

Who This Is For

You’re a perfect fit for story coaching if you:

  • Have significant achievements but struggle to talk about them confidently
  • Feel your career path looks “messy” compared to others in your field
  • Want to position yourself for speaking opportunities, board roles, or career advancement
  • Are you ready to write a book or develop thought leadership content
  • Feel stuck despite professional success and want to create a greater impact

You’re not ready for this work if you:

  • Are you looking for career strategy or job search support (this is about story, not strategy)
  • Need therapeutic support for processing difficult experiences
  • Want someone to tell you what your story should be (I help you discover what it already is)
  • Aren’t willing to practice sharing your story in new ways

The Story Coaching Experience

Our work together takes place via Zoom, allowing for flexibility around your schedule. Sessions are conversational, supportive, and practical. You’ll leave each session with specific tools and strategies you can implement immediately. Between sessions, you’ll have access to resources, exercises, and email support to help you practice and refine your storytelling skills.

Your Story Matters

Every accomplished woman has a story that can inspire, influence, and create change. The question isn’t whether your story is compelling enough—it’s whether you’re telling it strategically.

Your experiences, your perspective, your unique combination of skills and insights—these aren’t just facts about your career. They’re the foundation of your influence and the key to your next chapter.
