Forget the Pitch.
Start with the Story.
Two brothers from India came to me with a clean water app and a pitch full of facts, spreadsheets, maps, and market gaps. But no investors were biting. Then one of the founders quietly told me why it mattered: as kids, he and his brother walked for hours each day to bring clean water home to their family. That one moment of truth reframed everything.
We led with that story — and they secured funding within weeks.
Story Is the Strategy You’re Overlooking.
Story Consulting and Creative Strategy for Entrepreneurs
Story is the secret sauce that takes your business to the next level, whether you are launching something new, navigating growth, or making a bold pivot. Your business story isn't a mission statement gathering dust. It's the raw, compelling truth about why you exist and why you get out of bed in the morning. In a crowded attention economy, story is what makes your work stick.
FOR ENTREPRENEURS
From corporations and tech startups to creative entrepreneurs, educational institutions, coaches, and visionary founders, I help organizations to solopreneurs of all kinds harness the power of strategic storytelling. The key? Putting real emotion at the center of the work. This transforms passive interest into investment, audience curiosity into loyal connection, and minor edits into major impact.
What drives me most is witnessing the moment when a business owner realizes their story is bigger than marketing — it's the heartbeat of their work. It's who they are. It's their bridge between their mission and who they serve. That’s when things really click. Because narrative and numbers aren’t opposites — they’re partners. And when your story is in alignment, everything else starts to align too.
Without story, you have no power of persuasion. Story drives connection, action, success. The right story is a magnet that attracts the right people to your vision.
I help bold entrepreneurs and purpose-driven businesses craft narratives that make people feel something and then act on it. My clients know their story matters, but struggle to make it resonate in a way that truly connects.
Your personal ‘why’ is bigger than backstory. It's rocket fuel.
When you build your business narrative on connection, shared values, and emotional truth, everything changes.
Here's the thing: if you don't feel your why, no one else will either. People don't buy products or services. They buy how you make them feel. And the stories you tell are how that feeling is created.
Let me show you how to put your story to work.
Got a headline that won’t land, a pitch that’s falling flat, or a message that just won’t click? We’ll zero in on one specific story challenge and tackle it head-on. You’ll leave with a clear solution, fresh confidence, and momentum.
In this deep-dive session, we’ll map your current messaging against your vision to find what’s resonating, what’s not, and what’s ready to evolve. The result? Alignment, clarity, and a story that feels more true.
This is where we reshape how you communicate your value. Through a series of focused sessions, we’ll refine your core message, strengthen your brand voice, and create a storytelling foundation that fuels connection and conversion.
Ready to own your voice across your entire business? This immersive container turns you into the architect of your story. Together, we’ll build a cohesive narrative system — from brand story to messaging strategy to content flow — designed for long-term growth.
Think of this as having your story strategist on speed dial. Whether you’re launching, pivoting, or scaling, I’ll be your thought-partner, sounding board, and creative collaborator. Ongoing support, tailored to what your vision needs next. (6 month commitment, 2 clients accepted per year. 2025 is full. Join my 2026 waitlist!)
Don’t leave your story up to chance or AI. Humans have hearts, triumphs, failures, love, originality, generational linkages, nature, emotions, senses, and everything in between. AI does not. Keep your story human.

"Autumn's genius for navigating hard conversations and elevating business strategy transformed our startup journey.

Autumn brought razor-sharp creative strategy and her performing arts expertise to our southern California school. As our confidante, she wove stories with heart that truly resonated. She gave us sound business ideas that transformed our trajectory from a few pupils per class to waitlists. We couldn’t have seen this success without her.
~ Debra R, Arts Educator and Artistic Director
"When I had a retreat that I couldn't sell, I reached out to Autumn in desperation. I had created something meaningful, but my words weren't connecting. She asked me deep, searching questions that uncovered the true heart of my offering. The narrative she crafted made women stop and truly feel something. My retreat sold out, and participants arrived already feeling understood. Autumn's business story coaching and her way with words did more than sell my retreat; she showed me how to build a bridge that allowed women to walk toward the healing they'd been searching for. I'm very grateful to her."
~ Julie C, Bali Retreats
