Steve Rawling · Public speaking & storytelling
When you speak with confidence, people remember what you said — and they're far more likely to do what you asked.
Two things I do
I coach people with an urgent need to win over an audience — a vital presentation, a pitch, a conference keynote. I run training workshops for small groups who have to present their ideas as part of the job.
And I practise what I preach: I'm an engaging speaker myself, comfortable holding an audience of thousands.
For anyone with a date in the diary and a lot riding on it.
Stories grab attention, stick in the mind and move people to act.
AI can write a story. But it can't tell your story, with the heart and human connection that makes people care.

The cards
Yes, I'm the guy who wrote them. Storyteller Tactics is used by more than 250,000 people, in companies including Google, Rolls-Royce and the BBC. I followed it with Archetypes (try the Archetypes quiz for a taste), and my new deck, Public Speaking Tactics, is out in early 2027.
Over the last five years I've spent hundreds of hours talking to people who use these cards, so I know how to fit the tactics to your exact situation. If you've got the cards and want one-to-one guidance from the person who wrote them, book a call.

How it works
Six to eight weeks
Most clients work with me for six to eight weeks. That fixes most of your presentation problems, builds your confidence and develops your natural storytelling style.
From $500/hour
I charge by the hour for coaching sessions. If you want a workshop or keynote, I price by the job. Tell me what you need and I'll give you a proper price.
What clients say
Steve has transformed the way my team and I communicate through presentations. He helped us simplify our messages, create more compelling stories, and pitch ideas in a way that is both memorable and effective.
Ilja Barskiy · Essity
An incredible talent at executive storytelling and coaching. After seeing him do a live coaching session with a client, I just knew we needed to work with Steve first hand — and now, we can't do it without him.
