Essentials of Storytelling
Find Your Story, Find Your Voice, Make an Impact
Your Story Has Power—For You, your audience and the change you want to make
Have you ever looked back on a moment in your life and thought, That experience shaped me?
Or shared a personal story that made someone else feel seen and understood?
Every story you carry has meaning. Some stories shape who you are. Others have the power to inspire, guide, or change the lives of those who hear them. And if you're here, it's because you know your story can do more.
But here’s the problem: too often, we dismiss our own experiences as “ordinary” or worry we won’t tell them well enough. And because of that, we hold back—missing opportunities for connection, growth, and influence.
That’s where Essentials of Storytelling comes in.
Whether you want to gain clarity in your own journey, connect deeply with an audience, grow a business with authentic storytelling, or create meaningful change through advocacy—this program will help you use your voice with confidence and impact.
This isn’t just about storytelling for speaking or presenting. It’s about unlocking the power of your personal stories—whether to gain clarity in your own journey or to share them in ways that help others move forward with your ideas, your offers.
Join us at the campfire, bring your stories and learn the secrets of story and storytelling.
Learn the essentials that you need to make a story give up its secret - a message that will help you move forward
or help you move others to accept the idea, the offer, the change that you have, to uplevel their lives

Welcome to Group Story Coaching - Pivotal style!
Your coaching is personalised throughout the 5 fortnightly sessions so that you learn the fundamental elements of storytelling and see how to apply them to your personal story.
The cost is $175 which covers your coaching for the 5 modules.
Let's meet on Zoom.
The first session starts on 21st March at 7 am AEST / which is 20th March 5 pm EDT / 2 pm PST Each morning session will be repeated at 7 p.m. AEST and they are not recorded, because these are personal stories.
I deliver this program in small groups to meet our personal needs, so make sure to register early in case the groups fill and I cannot find a time spot for a new group that would suit you (though I will certainly try).
N.B. DUE TO THE UNCERTAINTY AS WE ARE CURRENTLY RECOVERING FROM A CYCLONE, I HAVE CHANGED THE START DATE TO A WEEK LATER THAN THE ONE PREVIOUSLY ADVERTISED - TO 21st MARCH.
Early Bird Bonus
For both reasons (small groups and the extended wait,) I have added a bonus for early registration so that you will have something of value to work with before we start.
When you complete the registration, you will be able to download the
PIVOTAL Story Finder Workbook
14 pages of personal story prompts to choose from, to get you thinking about your personal stories' power.
