You have a story
It’s in your head, wound around everything that you are, do, believe in, love, feel passion for, have achieved, and want to achieve.
It’s weaves through the people you’ve worked with, and the people you’ve yet to, your clients, and partnerships.
It’s in what you’ve learned through your challenges, struggles and set backs.
It’s in the intersection of your experience, expertise and skills.
It manifests most powerfully in the insights you’ve gained through these intersections and the application of them in your work.
It’s all there, just waiting to be ‘whispered’ into existence, crafted, shone and polished to become an irresistable story. Your story.
How do you whisper my story?
First, you capture the essense of your business in a preparatory document.
Then we meet online for a short but intense Story Whisperer session in 150 minutes. During our time together, through careful listening and questioning, we explore your:
• purpose, principles, people, and proposition
• your critical thinking and insights into your people’s problems and your solution for them.
Your story arc
Now we can uncover the story that will best illustrate your answers.
Using a story arc format, we travel through the concept, what happened to kick it off, the journey, the resolution, and the idea worth sharing.
We weave in your insights to build your credibility and authority.
Throughout, there is the opportunity to explore your ‘micro stories’— those vibrant snippets that colour and bring personality to the work you do, and tap into emotional rapport and recall.
We seal it with an appropriate call to action.
Finally, we look at how you can use what you have uncovered to craft a powerful presentation, a perfect pitch, or for those sharp, but profound insights you can reach for when someone asks you why you do what you do.
Investment
A Story Whisperer session is $540 inc GST.

What others say
If you’re someone who is tight on time and/or looking to have your story shared to the wider audience, get in touch with Sandy. Not only is she an amazing person but also highly skilled at extracting the key message and transforming it to impressive pieces of content. I would highly recommend her.
Suranash Surana, CEO FoundersGo2
I met Sandy at a dinner less than 2 weeks prior to speaking on stage at an IT industry National Conference. Sandy & I worked together very closely during the short time to turn my somewhat technical and business focussed content into ‘my story’. I knew what I wanted to say but was struggling to make it work. It was Sandy and her skill that helped me turn it into reality. The engagement and feedback from the audience was fantastic and the Locknote speaker quoted me 4 times in his presentation. I now have my Keynote presentation that I will use again and again.
Jeni Clift, Founder and BM, DWM Solutions
My eyes have been opened to the under-recognised power of story to influence and excite. It has changed the way I communicate through all means, whether this be in patient interactions, teaching, presentations, social media or grant applications. Story-power is a tool that can deeply enrich understanding and empower change; quite possibly my secret key to success!
