A focused Narrative Leadership experience
Narrative Voice
& Vision™
Know your story. Find your voice. Choose your direction.
Before you build a brand or chase visibility, understand what you are building from. This experience helps students and early-career storytellers clarify the story they carry, the people they hope to serve and the next move worth making.
You do not need a finished platform
You need enough clarity to make one honest next move.
Private Intensive · Institution-sponsored Lab · Human-reviewed guidance
Is this your moment?
Clarity before visibility.
Story before strategy. Person before platform. Voice before visibility.
For the person becoming
I know I have something to say. I need help locating it.
Designed for enrolled undergraduate, graduate and professional students—and recent graduates and early-career journalists, creators and communicators within three years of graduation.
For the person who sees them
I know exactly who would be good for this.
Parents, mentors, schools and institutions can sponsor an individual seat or bring the Lab to a cohort—without gaining access to anyone’s private reflections.
Two ways to enter

Investment
A foundation—not a performance.
The work begins with authorship, audience, purpose and boundaries. Production and visibility come later—only when they serve the story.
Private Intensive™
$600
One payment or 2 × $300 across the approximately two-week private experience.
Institutional Lab™
$750
Per sponsored seat · eight-seat minimum. Travel, venue, production and major customization are separate.
What is not included: visual identity, logos, full website strategy, social-media management, production, editing, audience-growth guarantees or unlimited coaching. Separate implementation may be scoped after the foundational work. Sponsoring institutions receive completion status and anonymized themes—not private participant responses.
Questions people ask
Is this a branding program?
Not primarily. Brand direction may emerge, but the work begins with your story, voice, purpose, audience and boundaries.
Do I need an existing platform?
No. The experience is designed to help you decide what deserves to be built before you commit to a platform or public identity.
Will you create my content or visual identity?
No. Those services are outside this foundational scope and may be quoted separately only after your direction is clear.
Can my school sponsor my participation?
Yes. A school, program, employer or partner can sponsor one private participant or commission a Lab for a qualifying cohort.
