Your ideas are brilliant. And ... complex. If your stakeholders don’t “get it,” they won’t greenlight it. If it's not delivered with clarity and command, that game-changing innovation could bite the dust. That’s where strategic storytelling comes in. (Starring YOU as Chief Storyteller.) In science, tech, and pharma, complexity is a given. And clarity? That’s the make-or-break factor. When stakes are high and your audience's buy-in is critical—think board presentations, investor meetings, post-acquisition integration meetings, internal strategy rollouts—your message has to land with precision, confidence, and be compelling. And YOU need to inspire. That’s the work we're trusted to do. By applying the proprietary HOW TO® Model I developed, senior leaders sharpen their message. They know exactly what to say, what story to tell, and HOW to say it so people care, remember, and act. Rooted in our expertise as rhetoricians, this work blends deep message strategy, story architecture, and rehearsal planning that drives alignment, influence, and traction. Trusted by executives and technical teams at DuPont, Microsoft, JP Morgan Chase, Dechra Pharmaceuticals, and national labs like NREL and NSF funded engines. We help you by seeing from "outside of the fishbowl" so you can transform complex ideas into inspired action, and out into the world. This isn’t generic presentation skills training. It’s surgical storytelling for experts who already perform at a high level—and are ready to break through to elite status. One recent example: A Fortune 250 executive preparing for a pivotal presentation to the Board after a major acquisition. With a refined storyline and use of our Rehearsal Trifecta, he earned praise, built trust, and led the board to greenlight the vision—unveiling a new storyline inside the company. Yes, we love working with self-professed nerds. But the real magic happens when they can speak clearly across the aisle. We teach you how to humanize the science—while scientizing the humans in your stakeholder audience. We help you Nail It. If this sounds like your next edge, let’s connect.
