Tired of selling your soul online? 5 Stories is the strategy to get you where you’re going, without losing yourself along the way.

When you endlessly create for validation, what you say loses all meaning.
That's because personal branding is all performance, no substance.
It promises to connect, but pushes us further apart – from ourselves and from each other.
5 Stories is the antidote.

Story Coaching

That's what we do.

You feel called to do work that excites your heart, but chasing online success feels like playing a losing game. One you pour all your energy into, and end up feeling empty, burnt out and wondering: what now? We’ve worked with hundreds of entrepreneurs and creators who’ve been there.

Our workshops and 1-1 programmes break your story down into your Origin, Empathy, Purpose, Product and Vision stories. This gives you a structure to create real, raw, authentic content that feels true to you, and resonates with your audience on a deeply human level.
