About Me

In 2017, I had a really cool idea.In 2018, we launched the business!In 2019, we were frustrated and burnt out - why did no-one else think this was as amazing as we did?In 2021, we had hit every goal we set. We had introduced 1 million people to social enterprise through corporate gifts, generated revenues of multiple six figures a year (even six figures in one day!), sold to over 100 corporates internationally and won so much funding we stopped applying. Our secret tool? StoryI've delivered over 100 high-impact workshops and keynotes, always with energy that gets the audience laughing and scribbling notes, and of course earning consistent 5-star feedback. Watch the audience lean in as they learn how to communicate with a brain that is wired for story. “It makes so much sense! Why have I never been taught this before?”
Neuroscience doesn’t lie - our brains are wired for story and it’s time we started communicating like it. In business we get storytelling entirely wrong, we strip it of emotion, and bury our messages in endless bullet points. No one teaches us how storytelling actually works - or how to use it strategically to build trust and convert customers.

The Power of Storytelling for Creating a Positive Social Impact in Business

Keynote and Workshop 2

When I started my social enterprise I had no idea how to tell effective stories, but learning how was transformational. We structured our pitches in the form of a story to win the funding pots, we moved clients on calls with our impact stories, and we inspired our teams with the mission. The impact sector has amazing stories and no idea how to tell them. This session provides science-backed strategies to teach the impact sector how to tell stories that will evoke the emotional urgency that is needed to gain funding, convert customers and form strategic partnerships. Ideal for leaders in social enterprise, sustainability, charity, or purpose-driven business.You’ll walk away able to:

If your mission matters, your story needs to move people. This workshop shows you how.

Stories That Sell - Strategic Storytelling for Business

Keynote and Workshop 3

Some of the best sales teams in the world are hiring storytellers- why? Because it works. Facts tell, but emotion sells, and stories are emotion generators. Yet, when we tell stories in business we often get it wrong, overload them with stats and take out the best bits. If we want people to take action we need to get them to feel something.
In this high-impact session, you will learn the very strategies I used to close six figure deals with a conversion rate of 85%. You’ll learn how to lead with emotion, back it with data, and craft strategic stories that build trust and drive conversions. Whether you’re in a sales meeting, writing a proposal, or delivering a pitch, you’ll discover how to wrap your message in a story your audience won’t forget.
You’ll walk away able to:

If you want to close more deals, connect on a deeper level, and stand out in the market - it starts with stories that sell.
