Grab attention
Communicate your message so people really ‘get’ it

Then read on - this could be just what you need
Imagine taking the stage for your next presentation or walking into your next important meeting feeling confident, excited, with a clear path to success mapped out before you
Confident because your message is crafted into powerful stories - powerful because they are captivating, motivating and they stick in the memory
Excited because you know your stories will give people a sensory, emotional experience of the way your work changes lives. Changing the way they see the world and how they act in it.
Brain Science has shown that well-crafted stories capture attention, create empathy and fire up the action centres of the brain - For more on this check out my video on the amazing science of “Narrative Influence”.
And after 8 years coaching and consulting in storytelling, I can assure you that anyone can learn to leverage this power of stories to “Change the brain by changing brain chemistry” - Paul Zak, The Moral Molecule

“I felt confident, prepared, and even excited to present my pitch.”
“I had to prepare a pitch for a corporate presentation - I had the content, but I really needed help with the order, the structure and the delivery. Simon spent time getting to know my product, and getting to know me, before providing me with a logical order and accompanying story line which not only tied it all in together, but allowed for a personal and authentic approach. I felt confident, prepared, and even excited to present my pitch and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive.”
-Tiffany De Sousa Machado, Founder, The Village Foundation
“All sorts of people came up to me afterwards with offers of support”
“After hunting for the right person for a long time, Simon - in a period of 10 short days, whilst I worked long hours on my day job - helped me craft a 15 minute talk to 500 people that I needed to get right. I was super nervous, but it went really well. All sorts of people came up to me afterwards with offers of support. Since then I am a lot more comfortable with public speaking and telling the stories that describe our work. Working with Simon to tell the story, meaning and purpose of my work was an incredible opportunity.”
-Luke Terry, CEO, Vanguard Laundry Services.
