Because when your story feels good, it connects with people and helps them care as much as you do about your business.
A healthy story—one that everyone wants to share—is a story that is nurtured and cared for every step of the way.
Through my process, I support your story health so that you can grow your community, focus on doing what you love, and truly connect with your customers. In other words, a healthy and thriving business.
The Story Doctor approach
Feel supported at whatever stage of content development you happen to be in. My process begins with assessment, then acute care for your most pressing story issues, followed by coaching and finally, training.
Story check-up
Only you know your truest story. But sometimes we get lost in the telling and need an outside perspective. I offer a clear assessment of your overall story health through the Story Check-up process.
Kind of like your annual physical you might get at your doctor’s office, the Story Check-Up reveals your current story status and overall health of your content. You’ll receive an assessment and recommendations in content areas such your website, brand design, user experience, tone, voice, copywriting, cadence, social media and core story.
By having a Story Check-up, you’ll learn where you’re knocking it out of the park and where you might need a little help. Consider a Story Check-up as a strategic roadmap before your next project, launch, or campaign.
Coaching
My coaching practice organically evolved out of conversations I had with entrepreneurs who were looking for one-on-one help with tough story challenges in their businesses. I began to see that there was a gap for leaders who needed dedicated time to talk through their deeper content issues within their organization or business in a safe and supported space.
Through my coaching process, I will support you in developing strategies and skills to improve the health of your core story and sort out the obstacles preventing your story from connecting with your customer.
Training
I teach and coach story craft skills so the most authentic version of your story connects with the right people, at the right time, in the right context.
I design customized curricula for organizations and entrepreneurs based on their unique story needs and culture. Learning collaboratively in a low-barrier setting is key for small to large businesses and organizations that want to progress in their storytelling and be more effective at communicating their purpose.

Building a business has been an interesting journey with many lessons to learn. One of the most important lessons I’ve learned is that we can’t do it all. I enjoyed Margaret’s creativity and sense of humour! It was such a pleasure to work with her!

I had the benefit of attending an online course facilitated by Mags Doyle from Story Doctor. The individual coaching from Mags was extremely helpful. She is warm and approachable, while practical and objective, and many of her suggestions have already been put to use.
