STORY w/ 

Mary Lee Copeland

Storytelling is a skill everyone should have.

Imagine if everyone in your organization became a skilled storyteller, with every pitch and presentation, post, and piece of copy connecting on an emotional level. With the right tools, training, and inspiration, your entire staff can enhance their storytelling skills. When everyone can create impactful, memorable stories, your company can boost engagement with clients and build stronger connections among colleagues.

Cultivating storytelling skills is invaluable!

Some testimonials from clients & participants:

  •  Petra Färm, CEO

    "Mary Lee is not only Georgia & Molly's Chief Storyteller, she is also the mastermind behind our brand building and marketing. She has written our ballad (obviously, who else would create a ballad instead of an "About Us" section), advised us on our appearance, created the Georgia & Molly tone of voice, and encouraged us to persevere! “When you are fed up with your message the customers are just starting to hear it.” Of course she was right, she has tons and tons of experience but still constantly manages to think outside the box and do something new."
     

  • Anna Ternberg, CEO 

     "I had the opportunity to hire MaryLee for a workshop in Storytelling.
    The audience were 18 year old students at Idrottsgymnasiet Nacka.
    MaryLee is a true professional with great energy. She is amazing in the way that she involves her audience and she makes sure that everyone in the room feels seen and valued. My students left the workshop with a new pair of glasses and I would describe the experience as a paradigm shift.
    She also has a great sense of humour and is one of the most gifted people I’ve met when it comes to storytelling I truly recommend MaryLee for any future assignment."

  • Sanna Hähnel, Spotify Employee

     "I recently attended "For The Record" arranged by Musikförläggarna/IFPI and Mary Lee was one of the amazing speakers/mentors. She is a very engaging and charismatic speaker with an interesting career and long experience and will definitely bring great energy and interesting anecdotes to any conversation about equality in the workplace (and the world). I'm grateful that there are people in this world like Mary Lee that use their drive to make it a better place. Highly recommend listening to her if you get the opportunity!"

  •  Oskar Alm, Hyper Island Student

    "Mary Lee held a lecture in Hyper Island where I study. She came in with such good energy and made everyone pay attention form the beginning to the very end with her passion and charisma. The things we learned was super valuable and directly applicable to our work. Can't recommend enough!"
