Win more business with your most important clients and inspire your team through clear and powerful storytelling

Have you or your team ever confused your clients or colleagues by too many baffling slides?

Do they need to decode your message to buy from you or follow your lead?

Time to hit home with the people that count in the moments that matter.

“Hi, I’m Stuart Maister. I started life as a BBC TV and radio reporter, and have spent the last 30 years working with hundreds of organisations on their storytelling.”

Let’s have a chat…

What people say about working with Stuart…

  • Duncan Sibley, Cisco

    “We hit our 3 year revenue targets in the first year and the partner became a top 5 account in the UK. Strategic Narrative changed the perception of Cisco within the client and vice versa.”

  • Karim Emara, Arup

    “Stuart helped us create a simple, powerful narrative around a few big ideas that cut through complexity and reflects our distinctive position as a digital leader.”

  • Maureen Penfold, Moore Kingston Smith

    “Stuart ensured partners focused on how we look from a client's perspective and what really makes a difference in the marketplace.”

Many firms and professionals struggle to stand out from others like them. It’s because they’re not clear or focused. The result is they don’t get chosen: by key clients facing tougher times, or colleagues looking for inspiration. With the threat of AI, me-too firms will fail.

The key is to have a strong value-based story that drives outcomes for the client and connects to your strengths as a firm. This becomes the narrative for the team, expressing your strategy in terms that they all understand.

  • It’s the reason major clients choose you over your rivals.

  • It aligns your team or firm, meaning they’re pointing in the same direction.

  • Combined with great communication skills and trust building behaviours, it hits home and helps you win.

I can help. I coach and train your people, work closely with leaders on their own strategic narrative, give keynotes and facilitate workshops that achieve clarity and action.
