My clients have to stand out.
Coming second is like coming last.
I help my clients Identify, Craft, Articulate and Deliver their narratives or stories.
I am a corporate, political and personal story teller.
Many people and organisations undersell themselves. They are fuzzy and vague about what they 'bring to the table' in Campaigns, Speeches, Interviews and Presentations.
My job is changing that.
Fast.
Because "good enough" seldom is.
I have helped craft winning narratives for a Prime Minister, literally hundreds of politicians plus Board Members and senior management at 14 PLCs. Why not you?
This has taken many forms and faces:
- From the intense and the obvious: speeches, AGM preparation, pitches, presentations.
- To the high stakes and potentially mean and nasty: Board room succession battles - aka Transition and Succession Processes for Professional Firms.
- To the financially life-changing: Bullet-proofing prospective equity management teams for M&A beauty parades in front of potential investors.
- To the life changing: coaching graduates hunting for their first job.
- To those wanting to win political office.
My job:
- maximise YOUR impact and YOUR message.
- get you the questions and answers YOU want.
- give you a political or commercial advantage.
Impressions count. Words work. For you or against you. Perceptions are reality. Fact. Deal with it. Fix them.
Strategy is vital too - because communication without a strategy is just noise.
N.B. f you are looking for a standard off-the shelf training programme I am the wrong address. My work is bespoke, generally 1-2-1 and you deal with me. That means what we do is customised for you so that it gets you what and where you want. It is "holistic" - this means that we will cover all the areas that need to be covered to get done what you want. If necessary - I will call in experts who I know and trust to deliver specialist expertise and skills.
Case Study in story telling - #1
If you could guarantee a YES answer - what question would you ask?
A client who relies entirely on donations needed help preparing for a small fundraising dinner with a very small group of carefully selected "High Net Worth" guests. My job was to help my client prepare and deliver a presentation that triggered the interest - and the question: "What could/would you do if we gave you a million pounds?"
Late the night of the dinner, I received a simple text message: "I got the question!".
What question or answer do YOU want to trigger?
Case Study in story telling - #2
If you were representing your country and
addressing the United Nations, what would you say?
According to www.globalsecurity.org and following the peace speech given by the then Sri Lankan Prime Minister at the United Nations General Assembly in 2003
"Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe has returned to a hero's welcome in the Sri Lankan capital Colombo.Tens of thousands lined the streets outside the airport to celebrate the return of Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe. Swarmed by officials and supporters at the airport..."
