The Principles

Increase your awareness

Tracking our stories allows us to track our internal patterns. Together we’ll create a space for you to step back and see the stories, values, and beliefs that inform your decisions. 

Move from instinct to intention

Founders are driven by great instinct, but instinct isn’t scalable. Clear communication is. Together we’ll surface the narratives and principles behind your actions and craft stories of intent you can use to raise money, build teams, and inform your company’s next growth phase. 

Build the foundation for future development 

Story awareness and development is a practice. It means monitoring what stories you use to whom and when. It means reflecting on the effectiveness of those stories. And it means updating them when needed. Together we’ll create a low-maintenance practice for using story as a developmental tool.
