Hi there,
Times have changed, and so have the stories we need to tell. Do your stories reflect your new reality and the way you do business?
If you’re struggling to articulate your story, lack the time or know-how to craft a compelling narrative, or simply need help in writing it, I’m here to help!
While it may not be as legendary as Superman’s or as kick-ass as Wonder Woman’s, your Origin Story defines:
- WHO YOU ARE
- WHERE YOU COME FROM
- WHAT YOU STAND FOR
Here are just some of the things your story can do for you.
- Share your journey, inspirations, and the path you’ve chosen
- Showcase your passion for your product, service, or industry and demonstrate why your unique life experiences, victories, failures, and values make you the perfect fit
- Establish trust and help you to stand out from the crowd
- Serve as a compass, guiding your future endeavours
- CLARITY on your purpose so you can…
- COMMUNICATE your values and vision…
- CONNECT with your audience and…
- CONVINCE them that you’re the solution to their problems.
Client Testimonials
Now, let’s address the elephant in the room.
Your story is just one piece of the puzzle when it comes to building a personal brand and marketing your business.
I won’t make outrageous claims or guarantee unrealistic results like others might.
Crafting your ‘Origin Story’ is not a quick fix or silver bullet for all your marketing needs.
But here’s what my clients have experienced:
Front Row Productions2024-04-01If Storytelling is an art, then Robert Tighe is an artist. We have worked with Robert on a few projects to help us dig deep into a brand's true story. Robert is a great communicator and knows how to get great results for his clients. We highly recommend Robert to anyone who has a story to tell. Which is everyone.
Iain Menmuir2024-01-21Framing a career lifetime of experience, in my case around 35yrs and a myriad of roles, into 500 words or less is remarkable. Its precisely what Robert has done! He has taken all our chats, his reading and research and produced a succinct and clear journey for anyone to read to help understand what my journey has been. We thing its pretty engaging too! I recommend Robert with complete certainty he will impress you.
Dan Minkin2023-12-14I found working with Rob to be extremely easy and satisfying. Our sessions were helpful in allowing me to improve my presentation content and manner, while allowing me to keep my own style throughout.
Bruce Trevarthen2023-07-05Robert takes the time to deeply understand the topic and his writing reflects that. So many writers apply too much of their own assumption to the topic, especially with technical writing, which can result in substandard outputs. Robert stays true to the source material and delivers very readable and articulate copy. Highly recommended.
David Fish2023-05-28Partnering with Robert on a program we delivered in Australia was a great experience. He brings a depth of knowledge and insight from his time as a journalist that makes a real difference to how teams and individuals think about their personal stories and what defines them. I hope that we get the opportunity to work together again in the future. Fishy
Stu Lees2022-07-05Robert has been transformational in my perspective of storytelling in my content. His process is simple and elegant so that anyone can do it - so if you are wanting to take your personal brand to another level - you should talk to him
Simon Whyte2022-02-22“Robert presented to Weave Group after we worked together to discuss how his Origin Story programme could also be adapted to engage business audiences focused on business growth, leadership development and staff engagement. I have always found him to be trustworthy, personable, adaptable and pragmatic. Robert’s Origin Story sessions for me at Weave were very well received. His Origin Story provides a very useful tool by which business leaders can share their personal stories of background, learning and experience to increase customer & staff engagement. It’s power is rooted in the sharing of an authentic personal story or experience that shows the human qualities and experiences of the presenter and grows connection and understanding. I consider it a powerful new tool whose quality and potential has already been identified by practitioners in leadership development. “
Julia Grace (Julia Grace)2021-09-14Robert’s ‘Your Origin Story Workshop’ was a thought-provoking, practical and professionally run event. Robert is an expert in the field of story telling and his way of getting the audience to dig into and create their own stories was brilliant. I came away feeling inspired and educated and with a file of great story ideas under my belt. Robert is a pleasure to work with, I highly recommend him for your business to help with visibility and authenticity.
Richard Howarth2021-09-06Robert is a story telling expert, combining logic, business principles, art and creativity. He’s empathetic yet pushes you to think how your story can be applied and interpreted. The whole Origin Story process was fun, yet I’m already experiencing the commercial benefit. Highly recommended.
Simon Fawkes2021-09-04I attended Robert’s “Your Origin Story Workshop” and I highly recommend it. The way he told his origin story was a great way to explain the power of this type of story. He made all the participants feel comfortable so that we could all tell some of our stories. Good stories resonate and are memorable.
Getting their story straight has made it easier to connect with customers authentically.
The process as well as the story itself holds immense value, helping you clarify your message and resonate with your audience.
Here’s how the process works:
Questionnaire
Reflect on your past and achievements with a custom written questionnaire to get you in the right mindset to tell your story.
Informal Interview

First Draft
I record and transcribe the interview to write and edit the first draft of your Origin Story that I share with you as a Google Doc.
