THE BREAKTHROUGH
Get un-lost on a project.
This is for when the problem is bigger than one rough paragraph, one awkward opening, or one joke that refuses to reliably do its job.
You have a project.
Maybe it’s a talk, workshop, show, story, keynote, pitch, course, or section of a novel. (I've helped people with all of those.) This package is for when you can feel there’s something there, but every time you sit down to work on it, your brain turns into a group chat where everyone has strong feelings and no one is in charge.
That does not mean the project is bad. It usually just means you’re too deep inside it to see the shape.
I’m an award-winning performance storyteller, writer, and coach. I’ve performed Off-Broadway, at the National Storytelling Festival and other major festivals across the U.S. and Canada, as well as in corporate settings, so I’ve spent years learning what makes stories, talks, and performances actually land with real audiences.
The Breakthrough is for getting you un-lost.
Over four hours, we’ll look at what you have, identify what the project is really trying to become, find the strongest path forward, and name the specific problems that have been keeping it stuck.
This is not just “feedback.”
Disorganized Feedback can create more fog. This is guided diagnosis, structure, and direction.
We’ll work together to answer questions like:
What is this project actually about?
What is the strongest version of it you can imagine?
What should stay, go, move, or grow?
Where might the audience get lost?
What is the next right problem to solve?
What is the roadmap that leads to something you're proud of?
This is best if you don’t need someone to walk with you through the whole project yet, but you do need help finding the shape, the path, and the next smart moves.
You’ll leave with clarity, direction, and a project that feels workable again.
Get un-lost. Find the shape. Know what to do next.

Steffani Raff, Storyteller, Author
“Paul is able to identify specific moments in a performance or story that can be polished to increase its overall effectiveness. He is a story technician at heart and can give you ideas on specific things to try in order to improve the moment in the story you are working on. Then he helps you practice the skill or technique you need to be more successful. Each skill he teaches then becomes replicable in other performances and stories. He is very in tune with the teller and honors their connection to the story, their personal style, and what they want from the coaching experience. He is naturally positive and encouraging. He truly cares about helping you not only understand but also feel confident and successful in what he teaches or works on with you. I highly recommend Paul as a coach and mentor.” — Steffani Raff, Storyteller, Author, Podcaster
