In 2015, I shared my ‘very ordinary’ story with 1500 business owners and it totally changed my business - and my life. I went from struggling to be seen and heard, to having dream clients signing up to work with me. It blew my mind.

  • Stories that inspire and give hope.

    I first came across Susan and the business of stories in 2019, while looking for a storybrand guide.

    I quickly realised that she has a unique way of sharing stories that makes complete sense to me and I knew I wanted to work with her.

    Since then she’s developed a course, written and published a fabulous book, opened up a membership and now, a podcast. (Which is a fabulous way to get the absolute essence of Susan’s process).

    If you’re in business, you need to listen to this. It’ll help you f... more

  • Actionable with huge value!

    I’ve followed Susan on socials, read her book, brought her offerings but really LOVE hearing her speak. She’s real, human, honest and shares so much value. Susan explains how sharing stories will do the selling for you in your business, and help you build real connections with the people you want to work with, and that feels so good. Thank you Susan, can’t wait to listen to you more on my dog walks!
