About Us
About the Founder
One day, I embedded a few personal anecdotes of into my lesson plan. To my surprise, my students listened intently, wiping their eyes over and over. Everyone was wide awake!
That’s how I discovered the captivating power of storytelling. From then, I started sprinkling stories into my presentations frequently.
When I left that job to become a corporate trainer and business owner, “Storytelling” became my first faithful employee.
I used storytelling in engaging, encouraging, and empowering students in schools, colleges, universities, organizations and yes jails in USA and Singapore.
In the last 18 years, I have been obsessed in studying and using storytelling professionally.
It has also been a privilege to teach and coach hundreds of entrepreneurs, authors, and sales professionals in Asia, Europe, Middle East, Africa and America.
Today, my focus is mainly on helping financial advisors and executives in telling captivating stories that engage, encourage, and persuade prospects and potential clients.

Why Work with Me?
Based on my experience, exposure, and expertise in business storytelling, I possess a fine eye and ear for story GEMS that ignite interest, curiosity, and the potential to generate buzz. So how did I get this elusive ability? Is it a skill bought I got from eBay? Nope! Did I get it from Costco? Nope!
Some of my friends have even accused me of benefiting from a rare quality they refer to as AGP. When I ask them what they mean by AGP? They say AGP stands for African Genetic Package! I found that to be hilarious.
In the interest of full disclosure, I grew up in a culture steeped in folklore. Beyond that, the little I know, I have acquired painstakingly by learning, failing, and testing countless storytelling tools and techniques across Asia and America.
