Your Story, Your Brand

Your story makes you the unique professional you are and when you master it, you know exactly who you are bringing to the table.

Our personal and professional journey is unique to us, but we are so close to our own story that it can be impossible to see it clearly. Equally, we don’t value some of our most important and unique qualities because we don’t realise how unusual they are. This workshop will help you connect with the unique value you offer, build your confidence and give you the language to articulate your unique skill set.

We have run this workshop for people at a whole range of different points on their career journey;

  • transitioning to a new career
  • writing their ‘About Us’ page
  • been with the same employer for a long time and are being over-looked
  • coming back to work after a break
  • have been made redundant
  • interviewing for their own jobs
  • launching their new business

Working with Ann you will be taken through a two-hour structured process which starts to identify some of the key story elements in your story, and build your awareness of how that story contributes to your value, your brand, and the character you bring to your challenge. At the end of the workshop, you have the choice to make a commitment to some actions inspired by the process – and book in with Ann for a complimentary follow-up session to review those actions and discuss the next ones!

You will also receive a written report of the key learnings from your workshop.

We could tell you more about what we do in the Your Story, Your Brand workshop, but what is more important is what it does for you, so we have asked some previous clients to share their experience...

What our brilliant clients have told us…



“Ann had been recommended by a professional acquaintance who had found the process very helpful. I was embarking on a career change, and after a diverse career needed to find a way to express my value. The process was incredibly helpful in consolidating complex personal and professional stories into a powerful narrative, and going through a structured process gave me the confidence to articulate that narrative. ”

“My experience with Ann, aka The Storycoach, was transformative in the way I thought about myself professionally. Perhaps ironically, I am a storyteller by profession - having worked as a journalist, editor and content director throughout my career - but I didn't know how to tell my own story very effectively. Ann changed all that through a painless process of asking the right questions and guiding me in shaping the answers into my own unique narrative. Not only was the session incredibly useful, it was also cathartic, thought-provoking and even entertaining! I can't recommend The Storycoach highly enough for anyone seeking to hone their personal and professional storytelling skills. ”

“As a branding consultant you’d think doing for yourself, what you preach to your clients, would be easy, I spend so much time telling them how important their story is when building a brand, that building my own should have been a walk in the park, but for some reason after two years of putting my new venture together it was still missing the magic ingredient.

Then I had a consultation with the genius that is Ann the Storycoach. I was referred to her by one of her previous clients and I have to say I was initially sceptical; I mean who could know what I was trying to say better than me?

How wrong I was. Ann made me realise it’s not about just listing what you do it’s about how you engage the audience and get them on your side, how they relate and connect with you on an emotional level rather than just listing a set of services. Literally what makes you listen to a story or switch off after the first few lines. Steve Jobs vs PowerPoint.

It really was a light-bulb moment, I think I was probably just too close to it and assumed that everybody already knew what I did. Ann made me take a step back and analyse why I do what I do and who I’m trying to sell too.

We got to a point in the process where I quite literally said out loud “that’s it, that’s what I’ve been trying to say!”

The way Ann structures her process is really clever, it’s very logical but also really engaging. Two hours went by in a flash.

The way she made me look at myself and what I was offering, has given me the confidence to share my passion for what I do with my audience. Can’t recommend her highly enough.

We all love a good story, let Ann help you find yours. ”

“I loved working with Ann -her sessions have been an invaluable investment into not only my career but other areas of my life as well. Having reached a crossroads in my career path, Ann worked with me to build my own career story in relaxed yet energising sessions. I have become more aware of my strengths, feelings, insecurities and the more I become aware of myself and my story, the more confident I felt in all aspects of my life. Armed with my new-found confidence, I managed to secure two job offers! The skills she has taught me are invaluable and she is a terrific coach, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. ”
