StoryShift.com.au is where narrative becomes strategy.But behind the name is something deeper. It's a belief that the stories we tell about our work are never just words. They shape what happens next. They shape how others see us, trust us, and make space for our leadership. I created StoryShift because I kept seeing the same pattern. Talented, thoughtful people whether professionals, creatives, or leaders feeling stuck inside a version of their story that no longer fits. Sometimes they were quietly holding more than their job title suggested. Sometimes they were in transition but unsure how to talk about it. Often, they were waiting for someone else to name what they already knew. StoryShift helps you stop waiting. Through coaching, reflection, and powerful language tools, we map the story you're actually living, not just the one that’s been assigned to you. We unpack the roles you’ve outgrown, the clarity you’ve earned, and the leadership that is already underway, even if it is not yet titled. This is not about rebranding. It is about reframing what you are already doing — as leadership. Whether you are moving up, moving out, or staying and shifting, your story is your most strategic asset. It is not just personal. It is directional. And when you claim it, others follow. This reflection comes from my narrative coaching practice at StoryShift.com.au, where I help professionals explore identity, voice, and clarity , not just achievement.

“I used to know what I wanted. Now I’ve achieved it, and I feel completely untethered.” I really heard someone say this. And it reminded me thatsometimes we lose ourselves not in failure but in “arrival”. We get there; we tick the boxes, and then the big questions begin. Given my own career transition and awareness of how much I have already achieved, I can attest to this wobbly arrival. Think about it: where in your life have you “arrived” but feel more lost than ever? This reflection comes from my narrative coaching practice at StoryShift.com.au, where I help professionals explore identity, voice, and clarity, not just achievement.

You know that saying “Do what you love”? I’ve never found that all that helpful. Sometimes what you love doesn’t feel obvious. It’s actually a lot quieter. For me, the better signal is energy. You know that feeling you get when you lose track of time. When you forget to check your phone. When you accidentally skip lunch because your brain is on fire in the best possible way. I used to get that feeling when I was teaching. Or when I was planning a series of lessons I was hoping would blow their minds. I think those moments are breadcrumbs. Little clues. And this is how I use storytelling with others. Together we find their trail of breadcrumbs . . .
