    What is it?

    A small, intimate online group. Real work.

    We meet fortnightly via Google Meet:

    Coaching Lab sessions — each with a clear focus from a tried-and-tested storytelling methodology. Every session ends with a practical tool you take away and use straight away.

    Alternating with

    Study Rooms — optional, no new material. A quiet space to ask questions, share work, and do it all in good company.

    Maximum 10 people. Private WhatsApp group between sessions.

    What you get

    After just a few weeks you'll begin to build and identify:

    • Your Core Story — the foundational narrative that anchors everything you create
    • A clear, deep picture of the people you most want to serve
    • A Story Bank to draw from every time you sit down to write
    • A simple method for turning everyday moments into marketing that connects
    • Practical tools to use in your own business
    • A brand voice that sounds unmistakably like you

    ​

    Why storytelling?

    We live in a world flooded with AI-generated content. And yet human stories still stop people in their tracks — because the neuroscience is clear: narrative builds connection and trust in a way that information alone simply cannot.

    Storytelling is one of the oldest human activities. Story Lab is built on that foundation — not a trend, not a tactic. Something much older and more reliable.

    Story Lab is for you if:

    • You run your own business and your marketing doesn't feel like you
    • You struggle to know what to write every time you sit down to pen a post or an article
    • You know you have stories worth telling but aren't sure how to shape them
    • You want to work with people who genuinely get you, and you them
    • You want a small, thoughtful group — not a big anonymous programme
    • You're ready to show up, do the work, and be genuinely seen
