We advance your strategy through storytelling.
We started Story Doctors Consulting as a complement to CM Productions to help clients formulate and organize their stories in whatever delivery format is needed.
Why do I need a story consultant?
Research shows your brain lights up when you connect with a story.
Have you ever said -- if they only knew our story they would definitely buy from us, work for us, or partner with us? You’re probably right. Why? Because stories connect with our heart and our brain and influence our decision making. Scientific studies have shown that during functional MRI scans many different areas of the brain light up when someone is listening to a narrative. And as the story unfolds the listener’s brainwaves start to synchronize with storyteller!
For years we’ve told intelligent visual stories for clients with great success. Our experience revealed that many organizations have compelling stories but are not leveraging them to their advantage. We started Story Doctors Consulting as a complement to CM Productions to help clients formulate and organize those stories in whatever delivery format is needed. Whether you need to improve your company culture to attract new employees or retain your existing talent, roll-out a new initiative, bring in new customers, strengthen your public brand presence, or just express who you are, we consult with you so you tell the story that connects with the audience you need to move your strategy forward.
Coaching executive presence and storytelling helps advance up-and-coming leaders.
Executive presence coaching
Combine on-camera and presentation skills with storytelling to make an impression.
Executive presence seems to come natural to those who have it. But it takes work to be able to attract and hold attention comfortably while delivering a business-savvy message. Our coaching program works on multiple aspects of executive presence, starting with knowing your business story well enough to tell it to anyone in any setting.

She worked for both CBS News and WFAA-TV before jumping into the news consultant world early in her career. While training news anchors from TV stations all over the country, she learned many tricks of the trade. One-on-one coaching is currently available. The Story Doctors self-guided executive presence curriculum is set to be released next year.
