The Story of Transforming Corporate Leadership Through Storytelling

Once upon a time, a corporate woman in a high-powered leadership role stood at a crossroads. She had the title, the responsibility, and the accomplishments to back it up. But behind the polished exterior of the boardroom, a quiet ache whispered, There’s more. Her story felt fragmented—disconnected from the purpose she once envisioned for herself.

This woman wasn’t alone. I’ve met her in many forms—CEOs, directors, managers—women who excel in their roles but carry invisible weight: the fear of failure, the pressure to meet every expectation, and the struggle to balance personal fulfilment with professional demands.

This is where my work begins. I help women like her step into a new story—not by fixing what’s broken but by rewriting what’s possible.

We Start With the Archetypes

Every story has its characters, and so does your inner world. Inspired by Carolyn Myss’s archetypes, I guide women leaders to meet the voices shaping their lives and leadership:

• The Victim, who reveals where she feels powerless at work and teaches her how to reclaim her voice.

• The Saboteur, who whispers doubts but also holds the key to courage and decisive action.

• The Child, who shows her the power of curiosity, reminding her to stay open and innovative in a rigid corporate world.

• The Negotiator, who highlights where she trades authenticity for temporary security and empowers her to honour her worth with integrity.

By exploring these archetypes, she doesn’t just identify her challenges—she sees how her inner story shapes her leadership style, relationships, and capacity to inspire.

The Story Unfolds Through Connection

In our sessions, we weave storytelling with energy medicine. For example, we look at how the stress of managing teams, hitting targets, and delivering results takes a toll on her body. She may carry the weight of late-night decisions in her shoulders or hold anxiety in her chest. Together, we release this energy, replacing fear with clarity and tension with alignment.

Then we connect this work to her leadership. How does she manage her team? How does she create connection in the workplace? Through storytelling, she learns to lead by sharing her vision authentically—not just directing from the top down but inspiring her staff with honesty and purpose.

Weaving Professional and Personal Growth

One of my clients, a high-level executive, was stuck in the story of being “the perfect leader.” She felt she had to know everything, do everything, and never show weakness. Together, we rewrote her narrative. She learned to embrace vulnerability, trust her team more deeply, and communicate from a place of connection rather than control.

Another client worked with her archetypes to redefine boundaries. She let go of guilt and learned to say “no” with grace. She realised this shift not only improved her mental well-being but also empowered her team to step up and take ownership.

Their stories changed, and so did their results:

• Performance improved.

• Relationships deepened.

• Confidence grew.

Empowering Leaders Through Story

Your story isn’t just personal—it shapes your team, your organisation, and your industry. When women in leadership roles step into their power as modern storytellers, they create change that ripples outward:

• They inspire their teams through authentic narratives.

• They rewrite outdated beliefs about what leadership should look like.

• They bridge the gap between professional success and personal fulfilment.

The Next Chapter: Your Story

If you’re a corporate woman in a leadership role, ask yourself:

• What story am I telling about who I am?

• How is that story shaping my work, my team, and my life?

• What would happen if I rewrote it?

You are the author of your life, your career, and your legacy. Together, we’ll craft a story that aligns with your power, your truth, and your vision.
