Mobilize your audience through authentic, compelling storytelling that inspires generosity.

Story strategy, expert coaching and proven results for your events, partnerships, and campaigns.

Crafting powerful presentations that connect deeply and catalyze action.

The Intensive is a concentrated coaching experience designed to transform how your presenters — artists, executives, storytellers, or leaders — show up on stage. In a focused sprint leading up to a key event, tour, or gathering, we work side by side to develop, refine, and deliver a presentation that is both magnetic and mission-driven.

Our process weaves together personal story, strategic messaging, and audience psychology so every word, moment, and transition builds trust, emotional resonance, and momentum. Whether it’s a 12-minute presentation, a donor invitation, or a full-length keynote, the StoryArtist Intensive ensures your speakers don’t just speak — they communicate, inspire and move people.

Every Intensive is tailored to the context and goals of your event, but most include several or all of these elements:

  • Message Architecture & Story Crafting – Clarify the core message, identify key story arcs, and shape a narrative that connects emotionally and strategically.

  • Presentation Design & Call-to-Action Strategy – Structure the talk for maximum engagement, leading audiences toward a clear and compelling next step.

  • Stage Presence & Delivery Coaching – Build confidence, authenticity, and command through coaching on pacing, tone, physicality, and audience connection.

  • Video Review & Iterative Refinement – Use real-time feedback and recorded run-throughs to sharpen language, improve flow, and elevate impact.

  • Personalization & Voice Integration – Ensure every presenter’s unique story and personality are woven into the message so it feels deeply human and unforgettable.

The Intensive turns presentation moments into catalytic ones — helping your speakers show up with confidence, authenticity, and the power to move hearts and inspire lasting action.

“Working with Kristie has been one of the most impactful experiences of my creative and professional journey. She has a rare gift for seeing the heart of a story — not just the words, but the emotion, the message, and the truth underneath it all. Her coaching helped me uncover clarity, confidence, and authenticity in my storytelling in ways I didn’t know were possible.

Kristie creates a safe, inspiring space —she listens deeply, challenges thoughtfully, and celebrates every breakthrough with genuine joy. Her insight, compassion, and intuition set her apart as a coach who not only sharpens your skills but transforms how you connect with your audience.”

Sustain momentum. Deepen mastery. Multiply impact.

Elevate is an ongoing coaching partnership designed to build on the foundation created in the Intensive — turning a single powerful presentation into a lasting, measurable movement. Through consistent support, strategic feedback, and creative collaboration, we help presenters refine their message, sharpen their delivery, and continually increase their impact over time.

This is where storytelling becomes a living, evolving practice. We review real presentation videos, assess audience engagement and response, and guide adjustments that make each talk more magnetic and effective. We also facilitate regular gatherings and workshops to spark new ideas, deepen confidence, and keep speakers connected to the mission and one another.

The result is more than great presentations — it’s lasting influence. Elevate ensures that storytellers grow beyond their initial training, partners stay engaged, and audiences respond at higher levels season after season.

Every Elevate engagement is tailored to your needs, but most include several or all of the following elements:

  • Ongoing Coaching & Refinement – Continuous support to sharpen storytelling, update messaging, and evolve delivery for maximum resonance.

  • Video Review & Feedback Loops – Detailed analysis of recorded presentations and audience response to identify growth opportunities.

  • Seasonal Strategy Sessions – Workshops or gatherings that fuel creative innovation, introduce new storytelling techniques, and refresh messaging around campaigns.

  • Community Building & Collaboration – Peer feedback and shared learning that strengthen presenters’ confidence and deepen their connection to mission.

  • Impact Optimization – Strategic adjustments that improve audience engagement, retention, and giving percentages over time.

Elevate transforms storytelling from a single event into a sustained force — nurturing presenters into powerful ambassadors and amplifying impact with every presentation they give.

"StoryArtist helped us design a presentation with such strategic movement and emotional clarity that young people didn’t just listen — they took action. The result was hundreds stepping forward eager to join the mission."

Designing meaningful experiences that honor people and ignite generosity.

StoryArtist Blueprint is the intentional design behind unforgettable gatherings — a thoughtful architecture that turns programs into journeys and audiences into communities. It’s where story, strategy, and creativity come together to guide people toward something bigger than themselves.

From the welcome to the closing, each moment is crafted with care — building emotional momentum, weaving mission and meaning into every transition, and creating a natural rhythm that draws people deeper into the story.

And at the heart of it all is a profound belief: generosity thrives where people feel valued. Many with significant wealth carry unseen stories of being used, misunderstood, or reduced to their resources. In every StoryArtist Blueprint design, we seek to restore dignity and offer invitation — extending the same compassion shown to those in need to those with the capacity to meet it. This isn’t about guilt or pressure. It’s about creating a space where purpose awakens, generosity is joyful, and every person feels the beauty of belonging to a larger story.

StoryArtist Blueprint is more than event design — it’s an act of hospitality, shaping experiences where hearts are moved, lives are changed, and generosity becomes a shared celebration.

Every Blueprint is uniquely tailored to your mission, audience, and goals — but most experiences include many of the following key elements:

  • Narrative Architecture & Story Strategy – Develop a powerful theme, emotional arc, and storytelling flow that guide guests on a journey from inspiration to action.

  • Program Design & Run-of-Show – Shape the pacing, transitions, and sequencing of speakers, testimonies, videos, and creative moments for maximum resonance.

  • Speaker Coaching & Presentation Development – Work directly with presenters and storytellers to refine their delivery, elevate authenticity, and craft compelling calls to action.

  • Donor Journey & Hospitality Design – Create thoughtful, dignifying experiences that nurture trust and extend compassion to donors, making generosity an invitation rather than an expectation.

  • Creative Direction & Signature Impact Moments – Design the tone, atmosphere, and transformational moments — from immersive activations to emotional peaks — that leave guests inspired to partner long-term.
