storytelling coaching one on one

Leaders tell Stories.

Imagine always having the perfect story
for the occasion… a story you know works.

I help Leaders
find and tell their Story.

Become the Leader everyone loves listening to

Storytelling is the ‘#1 business skill’ (Forbes), but a lot of people feel unsure about telling stories in a business setting. They worry they will bore people or come across as ‘unprofessional’.

I know the feeling! That’s why, having studied story structure for 15+ years and written fiction and non-fiction bestsellers, I’d love to help you discover your business superpower.

It takes thousands of hours to master a new skill. Do you have that kind of time?

For those who don’t, I wrote my storytelling book as a series of hacks:

  • Get immediate interest: hack Conversations & Presentations
  • Build empathy and hack Trust
  • Get agreement and hack Buy-In
  • Align people and hack Strategy

If you need to do any of the above – or need to tell a story in any other context – story coaching will help you do it successfully.

Clients

Individuals I have taught include Hollywood producers and screenwriters, as well as execs from companies like Apple, Axa, BMW, Coop, Roche and UBS.

My focus is on real-world results over academic theory. Both are valuable. I dropped out of school at 15 to pursue storytelling full-time, but have contributed to EMBA courses and mentored post-docs and spin-off founders at institutions such as Cornell, HSG and MIT.

It has been my pleasure to help leaders on five continents tell stories so they experience more success with less stress.

Jyoti’s coaching exceeded my expectations. I was always convinced that I had great ideas on how to better serve investors. However, these ideas never quite stuck with my customers and I just kept changing my arguments.

Jyoti helped me realize that all I had to do was to turn the arguments into a concise and appealing story. My favourite thing was his persistency in asking the right questions to get to the core of my message.

I now have a structure for my pitches and marketing material. I feel reenergized and am confident that this will lead to greater success.
