Agency of Story | Storytelling for founders and leaders

The pitch that makes sense to you is not always the one that travels.

You know the product cold.

You can walk through the architecture in your sleep. You have data, a roadmap, and a team that would run through a wall for it. So you lead with what you built, and you go deep, because depth is how you show you're serious.

Then a partner nods, asks a sharp question, and leaves the meeting unsure what problem you solve.

Then the retell breaks.

Investors don't remember your pitch. They remember one sentence, and they repeat it to the partner who wasn't in the room. If that sentence is about how the system works, your champion has nothing to carry. Your own team can't explain it at the coffee machine either.

If your investor can't retell your story in their own words, the story isn't finished yet.

The fix is rarely more detail.

Most technical founders have too much true material. What's missing is the human thread: who is struggling now, what changes for them, and why this moment is the right one. Once that is clear, the product details have somewhere to live.

A story someone else can carry.

The work is to shape your story until it holds up when you're not in the room. Here is what that looks like when it's done well:

A story that sells itself, and others spread without you.
Ready with the perfect pitch, from deck to delivery to Q&A.
A powerful presence, owning any room with grounded confidence.

Talks for rooms that need to remember what you said.

I speak about storytelling, clarity, and staying grounded under pressure. Sessions are practical, honest, and built around something people can use the next day.

More Human, Not Less

Leading with integrity in the age of AI, and why relational capacity is the edge AI can't copy.

What No One Puts in the Pitch Deck

The invisible emotional and relational forces stalling your innovation, and how to make them visible.

The Burnout Cycle

Why rest isn't enough, and how to finally break free while still building and innovating.

Formats: keynotes, panels, workshops, and small group conversations. Virtual or in person.

Event organizers and speaker agents: the inquiry form has everything I need to check fit, including date, format, audience, and expected length.

Stories that help you find your footing.

I make short videos and reels on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube about staying grounded when the world feels like too much.

Finding agency in an age of overwhelming change.

About a third is storytelling for founders and leaders. The rest uses story to help people navigate problems bigger than any one person, like climate change and AI.
