Storytelling Strategist

I work with leaders and organisations to shape narratives with clarity and impact.

About

I help people and mission-driven organisations make sense of who they are and where they’re going, through the power of narrative.

We live at a time of constant transition. Decisions are made fast, messages multiply, yet clarity is often missing — not because people lack information, but because they lack a coherent narrative.

I work with individuals, leaders and organisations to shape narratives with clarity and long-term impact. My work goes beyond storytelling. I guide people and institutions make sense of where they are and what needs to be articulated in order to move forward.

My background brings together archaeology, narrative strategy and over twenty years of work across philanthropy, culture and communication. I hold a PhD in Archaeology and an MBA, and I am certified in storytelling and public narratives. I am the author of two books, including the first book on storytelling published in Greece, and the founder of StoryMentor, a storytelling NGO focused on narrative and social change.

I work most often at moments of transition: when something is shifting but not yet fully understood, or when a personal or organisational story needs to be revisited with precision. I collaborate with foundations, cultural institutions and companies, and I also work privately with professionals seeking clarity, stronger presence or renewed direction.

My focus is on clarity rather than speed and personalization rather than templates.

What I do

I work with leaders, teams and mission-driven organisations to bring narrative clarity at times of complexity, transition or growth.

Leadership Storytelling

Support for leaders developing the narrative clarity needed to articulate vision, navigate change and communicate with coherence under pressure.

Organisational Narrative Strategy

Structured support during moments of transition, growth or redefinition — when the story needs to be revisited or reframed with precision.

Impact Storytelling

Narrative development for mission-driven work: annual reports, campaign messaging, or donor communication that connects purpose to outcome.

Workshops & Capacity Building

Sessions that help teams move from fragmented messaging to narrative coherence — tailored to your context and communication challenges.

Facilitation & Moderation

Facilitation and moderation of discussions, forums and strategic events.

I work with professionals who want to strengthen their communication, refine their leadership presence or navigate personal or professional transition.

A storytelling process for individuals navigating career transition, professional reinvention or personal redefinition. The deep-dive edition (6 sessions) provides ongoing support through extended periods of change. A shorter core journey (3 sessions) is also available. Single-session story audits offer immediate clarity for decision-making.

Why Story

Stories shape identity

They influence how we lead, how we connect and how others perceive us.

When you gain clarity on your story and express it with intention, your voice strengthens, your leadership grows and your next chapter becomes possible.

Story is not just content or good writing. It is a sense-making tool.
A way to understand where you are, what has shaped you and what needs to shift in order to move forward with coherence.

This is especially true at moments of transition, when old narratives no longer fit and new ones have not yet taken shape. Clarity in story creates the foundation for clarity in action.
