Who we are
Storymentor is a non-profit organization that uses storytelling as a means of communication, empowerment and change. Blending techniques coming from the theater, narrative and rhetoric, we train organizations, businesses and individuals to use stories strategically in order to meet their communications goals, communicate authentically and promote their ideas and products.
Moreover, we use stories as the basis of programs that inform the public on issues often silenced in public discourse, such as the “glass ceiling” phenomenon and gender inequality, the trauma stemming from prostate cancer, as well as the “stigma” of failure.
