NARRATIVE INTERVIEW STRATEGY
What if you responded with a story instead?
“Tell me about yourself” is not a formality—it’s an invitation.
One-on-one coaching with the MIRROR method to help you uncover, shape, and exchange the stories behind your professional experience — for college students, working professionals, and career changers alike.
THE STORY EXCHANGE COACHING PROGRAM
Why this coaching works
Neuroscience out of Princeton found that when someone tells a real story, a listener's brain activity begins to sync with the speaker's — measurably, in an fMRI scanner. Recite a resume, and nothing syncs. Tell a story and the interviewer's brain starts moving with yours.

Coaching FAQs
How is this different from generic interview coaching?
Most interview coaching focuses on delivery. Narrative Interview Strategy starts a step earlier — figuring out which story to tell and why, based on what this specific interviewer is actually asking underneath "tell me about yourself."
What if I don't think I have a good story?
This comes up often, and it's usually not true — it just hasn't been drawn out yet. The Invite session is designed to surface real material through live coaching.
Is this the same as career counseling or therapy?
No. This is narrative strategy coaching focused specifically on interview performance. It's not a substitute for career counseling, therapy, or mental health support.
How is the program delivered?
All coaching is 1:1, live, by video call or in person. Your coach plays every practice role, including mock interviewer.
What do I actually walk away with?
By request, yes. Some clients like practicing the listening/reciprocity skill with someone else in the room.
Is this available for groups?
A Story Bank of 2–3 polished stories, a before/after recording, and the reciprocity skill.
Can I bring a friend into a session?
Yes — a group workshop version is available for universities and organizations. See the link above.
