Storyourself Mentorship

Three months of intensive development as a storyteller

After several requests, I’ve launched this mentorship programme. Over six sessions of one-to-one contact we create a tailored journey for what you want to learn. We  deepen the conversation around what you’re finding as a storyteller. I may suggest readings and teach some topics, drawing on nearly 15 years as a storyteller.

Storytelling may be something you do live and in person, or you may wish to apply it in your work. 

Core questions of people who have requested mentorship so far are:

– How can I tell my leadership story?
– How can I have greater presence in the room?
– How can I get my communication with colleagues?
– How can I get my storytelling into my copywriting?

Over three months, I support you get clear on what you want to achieve as a storyteller. We lay a path for you to get there and I support you as you walk it. I’ve received so much benefit from this kind of intense personal contact with master storytellers myself. I’d be thrilled if this could be the same for you.

If you think this is for you sounds, book a 30 minute call with me and I’ll answer any questions you have.

As a coach, Simon is brilliant at tuning in with the person in front of him and reminding them what is truly important, for the concrete task at hand and in life generally. What I most appreciated about his coaching was learning the techniques to step into my power and perform with confidence in any work related situation.
