Reveal Your Story
BOOK AND STORY COACHING
WHY YOUR STORY MATTERS
Very few of us ever get the chance to tell our full story. Sharing it with someone who can ask the right questions enables us to take full ownership, creating a profound shift in self-awareness: our ambitions, values, drivers, fears and hopes become clear. With this confidence, we can lead with clarity and become the author of the life we want to live. That's what The Creative Condition founder and story coach Ben Tallon is perfectly positioned to do.
Every human has a story the world needs to hear.
Some might like to share that story in a book, an impactful talk, or in their content. This coaching process is The External.
But a story doesn’t need to be shared. When it’s understood, written through a private one-to-one coaching experience and truly lived, as values, as intention, as a guiding narrative and purpose, the story becomes the best kind of leadership: infectious and inspiring. This process is The Internal.
I CAN HELP YOU reveal YOUR STORY so you can lead with clarity and become the author of the life you want to live.
THE Framework
My framework is simple. Our progress through life is comprised of our wins (highs), challenges (lessons) and the colourful absurdities that straddle the line between the two.
Using my decades of interviewing and storytelling expertise, we’ll reveal your life story, questioning, considering, suggesting, establishing your core values and your why, negotiating your narrative until your most powerful story takes shape.
You’ll become the author of the life you want to live.
The Process
REVEAL
In a 2-3 hour deep-dive session, we’ll reveal your story, outlining your purpose and lived experience.
DRAFT
With my help, using the results of the reveal stage, you’ll get it down on paper, expressing yourself in writing.
Evaluate
We’ll shape the material, evaluating what we have, identifying anything missed and cutting anything that doesn’t belong.
Author
As you begin to own your story and feel the clarity it brings, you’ll become the author of your next chapters, shifting from a reactive state to intentional leadership.
Publish
Having stepped into your story, you’re ready to publish with a clear POV. This might be a book, a talk, or content, via The External. If you’ve chosen The Internal, your story emerges, but stays with you, defining how you show up with new confidence and clarity, shaping your every decision, action and idea.
Lead
When you live your story, you lead, and those around you respond by stepping up, trusting their story and thriving together.
stories and me
I’m the author of eight books. Non-fiction, down-and-dirty fiction, and Héctor Ayuso’s biography. I coach story coach founders and creative professionals to write books, talks and content. I’ve interviewed hundreds of storytellers and creative thought leaders across art, design, sport, science, psychology, technology, music, film, and more through The Creative Condition podcast, campaigns, and for my books.
Hailing from a town once described as ‘one giant Star Wars bar’, owing to its abundance of rich characters, I’ve been an obsessive storyteller since an early age.
My unique blend of skills as a professional storyteller across illustration, art, coaching, writing, broadcasting, and interviewing enables me to think differently. This means your storytelling experience will be deeply personal, memorable, creative, and unique.
I’ll be more excited about your story than you, at least when we sit down to begin. I live for stories, whether I’m writing, guiding, hearing, or telling them, and I’d love to help you tell yours. Say hello at ben@bentallon.com or via the form below, and we can explore working together.
