Q&A
Q: Stacia, what has been the driving force behind your career journey?
A: Storytelling has always been at the heart of what I do. I trained as an actor and worked as a traditional storyteller across cultures and communities. Over time, I realized storytelling isn’t just performance—it’s how we understand who we are, where we come from, and what we stand for. I wanted to use those skills not just creatively, but to do some good in the world.
Q: How did storytelling evolve into your work with leaders and professionals?
A: When I moved through education, theatre, and eventually into working with adults, I noticed that many brilliant people struggled to articulate their ideas. They had depth, expertise, and lived experience, but not always the confidence or structure to express it. My work became about helping them embody their message—not just sound polished, but speak with truth and presence.
Q: You often talk about “embodied communication.” What does that mean?
A: It means getting out of your head and into your body. Like athletes, actors, or children at play—when you’re truly present, you’re not overthinking. You’re connected. I work somatically, which means we use the body as much as the mind to communicate ideas. That’s when people stop performing and start truly leading.
Q: How do people usually find you or connect with your work?
A: Very organically. Through conversations, networking, LinkedIn writing, my podcast, and word of mouth. I see networking as “making friends,” not selling. When relationships are nurtured with curiosity and generosity, opportunities follow naturally.
Q: What kinds of people do you typically work with?
A: Experts—people who are intelligent, thoughtful, and deeply skilled, but sometimes hesitant to step into the spotlight. Often they’re being asked to speak, pitch, or lead, but feel something isn’t landing. My role is to help them sound like the experts they already are.
Q: What challenges do you currently face in your work?
A: Like many solo entrepreneurs, the backend of the business—admin, systems, automation. The creative part is my strength; the challenge is building support systems that scale sustainably. Knowing when to ditch, automate, or outsource has been a huge learning.
Q: How do you view comparison and visibility in today’s digital world?
A: Comparison can be tough, especially online. But I’ve learned to embrace being “Marmite”—not for everyone. When you stand clearly for something, you attract the right people. Even disagreement sharpens ideas if handled with curiosity rather than ego.
Q: What excites you most about the future?
A: People using their voices to amplify others. When experts speak from lived experience—not trauma or ego, but truth—it invites dialogue, collaboration, and real change. That’s how ideas grow and communities evolve.
“When you speak from lived experience and embodied truth, you don’t just share ideas—you invite others to think, question, and build something bigger together.” — Stacia Keogh
