Discover your authentic voice and nurture deeper connections

When was the last time someone asked: "What do you do?"

Have you ever found yourself...

- Offering vague answers about who you are and what matters to you?

- Having stories bursting to be told but holding back?

- Feeling the disconnect between your rich inner world and how you express it?

- Struggling to speak about yourself, especially when outside your comfort zone?

YOU'RE NOT ALONE.

Whether you're shy, introverted, or outgoing, the challenge of expressing our true selves isn't just about finding the right words — it's about connection.

The Three Essential Connections

Connection to ourselves: understanding our deepest motivations and truths

Connection to our story: finding words that feel authentic and aligned

Connection to others: sharing ourselves in ways that build genuine relationships

Introducing: The Story of You Workshops

A transformative journey to authentic self-expression

What it entails

Over three intimate group sessions, we will explore:

Self-discovery + self-expression: uncover your true values and learn to articulate them confidently.

Personal alignment: bridge the gap between who you are and how you present yourself to the world.

Fostering connections: learn to share your story in a way that creates genuine bonds with others.

Practice + accountability: because real change comes from consistent exposition, feedback and a trusted circle to show up in.

No more compartmentalising or playing small!

What will I learn in this workshop?

In this transformative three-week journey, you'll learn how to:

- Connect your personal values to powerful stories that resonate
- Express yourself authentically in any setting
- Use proven communication techniques from global brands
- Build genuine connections through storytelling
- Navigate both professional and personal situations with confidence

You'll walk away with practical tools, frameworks and techniques that help you share your story in a way that feels natural and creates meaningful connections. Whether you're in a work meeting, at a networking event or in a casual social setting, you'll know how to present yourself authentically and engage others effectively.

Who is this workshop designed for?

This workshop is designed for people who are ready to move from discomfort to confidence in how they express themselves. You might be:

- Someone who feels that knot in your stomach before walking into a networking event
- A professional who has great ideas but struggles to articulate them in meetings
- An individual who often thinks "I should have said that differently" after conversations
- Someone who wants to share their story but feels intimidated by the prospect

If you've ever:

Felt yourself holding back in important moments
Wished you could express yourself more clearly and confidently
Avoided opportunities because they involved "putting yourself out there"
Known you have more to offer but struggled to communicate it effectively

...then this workshop is for you.

Through a carefully structured combination of self-reflection, practical exercises and real-world practice, you'll discover how to share your stories with natural confidence. Working in a small, supportive group (maximum 12 participants), you'll have the opportunity to transform your communication style under the guidance of a certified coach and facilitator with extensive experience in global communications.

The workshop creates a safe space to:

Move from uncertainty to authentic confidence
Practice storytelling in a supportive environment
Receive constructive feedback
Build momentum through real-world scenarios
Connect with others who understand exactly where you're coming from

This is your opportunity to bridge the gap between where you are now and where you want to be in your ability to connect and communicate authentically.

What are the benefits of attending this workshop?

By the end of our three weeks together, you'll walk away with:

Deep clarity about your values and how to express them
A proven framework that turns your experiences into compelling stories
Practical tools that work everywhere - from casual chats to high-stakes meetings
Personal feedback to accelerate your growth
A complete toolkit for continued practice
Your own circle of supportive peers who understand your journey
Professional communication techniques used by luxury brands

A Personal Note

Over the past years, I've guided company leaders, creatives and savvy professionals through the challenge of authentic self-expression. Hence my tagline: I help brands and executives tell a better story.

The leaders and visionaries we admire aren't naturally gifted storytellers — they developed these skills through expert guidance and dedicated practice. They'll have said (like me and many former clients) that they are "not eloquent enough," or that they "cannot express themselves clearly," that they "just cannot help but talk too much."

Some try to delegate the job: my previous boss joked about that when he was media trained to go live on the BBC. To the question "But what if something important happens and you HAVE to go live on TV and speak about it, what will you do?" he replied, "I'll have her do it." (He was referring to me)

Many of us will let it go, just choose to go through life accepting that it's just too hard for us to connect in triggering situations.

But when something big happens, when we have a clear objective, one that we are dearly motivated to move toward and reach, that's the moment to jump in.

It takes dedication and work to break through to the other side. And I should know: while I was in the wings building worlds for others, creating their platforms, helping craft their messages and communication strategies, I failed to do that for myself. Which is kind of essential for an entrepreneur. It took me years to get out of my own way and work through these challenges head-on.

It feels good to make progress, and I'm excited to show you how to.
