FIND THE WORDS
Let's reimagine how you talk about your work
😅 Panic kicking in whenever someone asks... "So what do you do?"
Let's turn this around, and gift you the words you need to feel 🤩, when talking about your work.
Hi, I'm Toby. I am a Founder, Author and TEDx Curator.
I want you to show up to conversations with understandable and believable stories about your work.
After 10+ years of Writing TEDx Talks...
I am now bringing the gift of clarity, confidence and creativity to you and your work.
FIND THE WORDS is all about reimagining how you talk about your work.
Leaning into the magic of sharing ideas and stories, which I have learned through more than a decade of curating and co-writing TEDx talks, on one of the biggest stages within the franchise, TEDxBrighton.
My Philosophy
We don't talk about WHAT we do.We talk about the ideas for change behind what we do.
You may have heard of Sinek's Start With Why.
FIND THE WORDS goes several layers deeper, to figure out what the promise and impact is behind that why, and to search for language and stories, which makes that change, uniquley yours to make.
How do we do it?
We start by removing all the normal language that you might be used to using and replacing with new language, which may seem harders to use at first. But in time, it becomes your fastest route to the truth.
So, what does this look like?
It looks like this...
IDEAS
We focus on the change your work wants to make. By asking questions that open you up to the meaning within your work.
LANGUAGE
We explore the unique promises and outcomes you can create for the people you want to benefit most from your work.
STORIES
We look through the memories and moments in your life and career, and then learn to build this around your message.
INVITATIONS
We package up your ideas, langauge and stories into gifts, which you can pass on to other and invite to join you on your journey.
READY TO GET STARTED?
You can book a FREE Find The Word Micro-Workshop session right now.

...and map a journey for you to go on over SIX WEEKS to get you feeling CLEAR and CONFIDENT about how you choose to talk about your work.
