Storytelling – What I believe

storytelling coach
I believe that most people and organisations undersell themselves. I believe that every business could sell more, every political party and politician could win more votes and every person could aim at - and get - a better job and earn more money. I am a storytelling and speaker coach and have helped businesses and politicians and individuals tell their stories for over 20 years. As part of a small team of 10, in the early 90's I helped people from SAP transform this cheeky upstart into a global player by helping them tell the story of SAP to other people. I have worked with businesses to help them tell their stories and achieve their objectives - including global brands like ThyssenKrupp, Mercedes, and SAP. I have helped politicians win elections with swings that shame the national average in the United Kingdom, got Labour politicians to work with the Conservatives in the national No2AV referendum and helped a Prime Minister tell his story and sell his vision for the future of his country to the world at the United Nations General Assembly. Stories are part of being human. They're part of history. And, being a good storyteller, can make the difference between success and failure. My job is to help people like YOU tell YOUR story best. We should tell more stories and use less PowerPoint.
