Storytelling as Infrastructure in Practice

What I bring to your stage

I help organisations turn difficult conversations into cultural change, without reducing people to their stories.

My work is facilitated through the Unabashed Narrative Pillars™ and the SSCS™ Framework (Self-Soothing Creative Steps) blending voice, presence, and embodied storytelling to create spaces where complexity can be met with care, clarity, and purpose.

Expect thoughtful delivery, practical takeaways, and a tone that honours both leadership responsibility and human experience.
