Here's how I can support you to become a..

Story-Inspired Coach

Finally, a way to confidently promote yourself in a way that is aligned with your core values

Not only is storytelling a scientifically proven strategy to make an impactful impression and motivate people, it's the human touch.

This is because stories build connection through empathy, not just pain points and help your ideal clients come to their own conclusions as to how you can help them achieve their goals and dreams.

Unfortunately, fear, blocks, or lack of clarity can stop you from confidently reaching your dream clients through the power of storytelling.

In other words, not knowing what story to tell, when, or where to share it, or how to deliver it in a way that has real impact.

Bringing the power of storytelling into your business involves expertise in writing and speaking, plus, a game plan.

The good news is that you just need the right skills, support and storytelling strategy to discover and share compelling stories that will help you grow your business.

Hi, I'm Dayna Kneeland, your storytelling coach

I help coaches discover and share their signature stories so they can speak confidently, build trust and captivate their ideal clients.

Originally an actor, I fell in love with helping others to step into the spotlight. I've helped professionals, entrepreneurs, and even marginalized communities find their voice and share their stories.

A passionate educator with an MEd in Adult Education, I've now been speaking, teaching, and growing my business through the power of storytelling for over 20 years.

Who do I work with?

You are a coach who wants your speaking, marketing, and promotion to reach the head and heart of your dream clients and help them feel like they already know and trust you as their perfect guide.

You have clarified your niche, but are struggling to communicate the value of your offer because coaching is so intangible.

Perhaps you grew your business offline and have started to scale to reach a bigger market.

Or, you are bringing years of career and lived experience to the table but aren't sure how to establish your credibility in a way that is personal yet professional.

You know it's time to be able to confidently speak and promote yourself both on and off camera but you you feel held back due to nerves or fear of coming across as inexperienced or inauthentic.

I'd love to learn about your specific goals?

How can I support you?

I take my clients through a step-by-step process so they can gain the skills, support, and strategy to confidently discover, develop and deliver stories that will get them results.

Then, I will introduce you to 5 Core Business Stories that will set you apart within the coaching industry and we will work together to identify the themes for your Educational and Origin Story.

I will walk you through the process of crafting a powerful Educational Story and help you clarify your storytelling strategy, where and how you will use it in your marketing and coaching.

Then, I will help you craft and adapt 3 versions of your Origin Story, one for your signature talk, one for your website, and a mini version to use networking and on discovery calls.

STEP 3 - DELIVER

Next, I will help you to understand the mindset of a confident speaker and teach you acting-based techniques to help you transform speaking nerves, bring your story to life and deliver it with intention.

We will discuss tips for speaking both on and off camera and you will receive a Story Delivery Check-list to help you feel prepared and confident sharing your stories.
