Leaders and experts need to share their vision with a range of audiences including customers and new business prospects, employees and potential hires, investors, the media and their peers. Executive Story Coach helps craft and deliver compelling narratives that have a real impact.
Leadership Development Coaching
Whether it’s overcoming the internal monologue of imposter syndrome or convincing others that they’re worth listening to, tomorrow’s leaders need to tell effective stories. Executive Story Coach helps them find their voice, communicate value and achieve their career goals.
Media Coaching
Sharing stories with the right journalists plays a vital role in every communications strategy. From developing new skills to providing a refresher, Executive Story Coach offers practical tips before putting leaders and experts through their paces in mock interview scenarios.
Presentation Coaching
Many people dread delivering a talk in front of an audience, but it’s an essential skill for leaders and experts. Executive Story Coach teaches them how to present like a pro, sharing tricks used by the world’s best speakers before getting them to deliver their own talk.

Content Development
Executive Story Coach creates content including op-eds, speeches and thought leadership reports. This is perfect for leaders and experts who don’t have time to develop their own material, and stretched comms teams who need support. Editing services are also available.
