Story Strategy That Makes People Feel.
Coaching 1:1 Options
Whether you’re crafting a sales page, a brand narrative, a keynote, or a content plan—you don’t just need better copy.
You need a partner to help you shape the story underneath it.
In a private 1:1 session, we’ll work together to:
- Untangle your ideas and find the story thread that makes everything click
- Align your message with your voice, values, and audience’s emotional journey
- Use neuroscience-backed methods to build stories that feel true and move people
This isn’t “done-for-you” feedback.
It’s a collaborative, guided experience—where we write, refine, and shape the story together. And along the way, I’ll teach you how to think like a storyteller so you can use these tools again and again.
You’ll leave with stronger language, a clearer structure, and a new level of confidence—not just in the work we did, but in your ability to do it yourself going forward.
Is This For You?
This coaching is perfect if you are:
- A creative entrepreneur, coach, or content creator
- Working on a sales page, brand story, website, keynote, launch, or podcast
- Sitting on a draft you know could be better—but you’re not sure how
- Torn between ideas and can’t find the thread that ties them together
- Craving clarity, structure, and a creative partner who can help you unlock what’s already there
But this isn’t just strategy. It’s guidance from a story expert who’s been shaping narratives for over 30 years—at Disney, National Geographic, NASA, and hundreds of businesses like yours.
You won’t just get feedback. You’ll get a story coach in your corner, someone who walks beside you as you write, think, revise, and finally see the story that was trying to emerge all along.
We’ll talk structure. Neuroscience. Emotional throughlines. Messaging that doesn’t just “convert” but actually feels like you.
And here’s the best part:
My goal isn’t to keep you dependent on me. It’s to teach you how to think like a storyteller—so you can carry this skill into every story, pitch, post, or launch you create from here on out.
“Before my coaching session with Susan, I was overwhelmed with the possibilities in which I could tell a big, important story. After our first session, I had solid, craft-based action items to keep me grounded and focused as I continue my research and get my initial ideas to paper. She is a warm, compassionate space holder and isn’t afraid to ask questions or challenge my ideas so that I can make the best next choice for my story.”
“I’d absolutely recommend coaching with Susan! We very much had a two-way conversation where I felt supported and understood. She was able to help me form some very vague notions into pathways forward, and left me with intriguing thoughts and confidence in the options before me.”

Coaching FAQ
WHAT KINDS OF PROJECTS CAN WE WORK ON?
Almost anything involving storytelling, messaging, or structure: sales pages, brand stories, launches, podcast outlines, pitches, course content, About pages, or video scripts. If you’re not sure it fits, just ask.
IS THIS COPY EDITING OR WRITING?
Neither. I don’t rewrite your work for you—but I do guide you through shaping it, sharpening it, and building the structure underneath it. It’s a co-creative, write-with-you approach that leaves you with better copy and the skills to keep going.
DO I HAVE TO HAVE SOMETHING WRITTEN ALREADY?
No draft required. You can come with messy notes, a loose outline, or even just an idea. We’ll work from wherever you are.
CAN I RECORD OUR SESSION?
Yes! I encourage it. You’re welcome to record audio or video for your own use.
WHAT HAPPENS BEFORE THE CALL?
Once you book, you will receive a welcome kit with everything you will need to prepare for the session. There will be reminder emails and a Zoom link provided the day before our session.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE CALL?
You’ll leave with clear action steps, language you can use, and a better understanding of how to tell your story with purpose. You’ll also receive any links, notes, or references we discussed—plus a few extra resources if helpful. Plus, you will have email access to me for follow-up questions for a specific amount o tine (depending on which option you have chosen).
WHAT IF I NEED TO RESCHEDULE?
You’re welcome to reschedule up to 24 hours in advance using your booking link—no explanation needed.
I understand that life happens, and I’m always flexible the first time or two. That said, frequent rescheduling can disrupt my calendar and other clients’ access. If you need to reschedule more than twice, I’ll ask that we either stick to the next scheduled session or have a quick conversation to figure out what’s going on.
If there’s been a personal emergency or something unexpected, just reach out—I’m a human before I’m a coach, and I’ll always meet honesty with compassion.
WHAT IF I NEED TO CANCEL?
Coaching sessions are non-refundable. Please see our rescheduling policy above.
DO YOU OFFER ONGOING COACHING?
Yes! If you want continued support, check out my Coaching Bundles or Voxer Coaching. I also occasionally offer limited long-term containers. Feel free to reach out if you want something more custom.
DO YOU OFFER IN-PERSON SESSIONS?
Yes! I happily meet with clients in person if they are in or willing to come to the Washington DC metro area. We typically meet at coffeehouses or cafes, or another location if suitable. I do not charge extra for these sessions, unless parking is an issue. Then I will charge for a parking garage. This is rare. Email me to set an in-person appointment.
STILL HAVE QUESTIONS?
Email me directly and I’ll point you in the right direction. You can reach me at susan@figmentsandfables.com.
