A note from owner and Chief Storyteller, Jamie Perez:
I spent years telling other people’s stories for a living. As a TV news reporter, I witnessed the full spectrum of humanity... heartbreak, triumph, and the quiet moments that break you open or put you back together.
I learned that people don’t want to be seen as a headline. They want to be seen as human. They want to feel understood. They want their story to matter.
And when people feel emotionally safe to share their truth, they unlock their power.
But while I spent years helping others do that… I couldn’t do it for myself. I hid my story out of fear. And it kept me stuck, small, and surviving instead of thriving.
The moment I finally shared my story, everything changed. Clients trusted me faster. Opportunities opened. Doors swung wide. My world expanded.
It completely transformed my life and my business.
Your story, the one you have yet to share, is your superpower. And I’ll help you unlock it.
Discover how to share your story in a way that builds trust, connection, and real impact.
The Beyond Words Story Accelerator Approach & Why It Works
Most messaging programs teach scripts, templates, or formulas.
Most video programs teach lighting, equipment, or talking-head confidence.
Most storytelling programs teach content ideas or structures.
We're doing something entirely different:
We're blending...
✓ trauma-informed emotional intelligence
✓ newsroom-level interviewing
✓ cinematic storytelling principles
✓ visibility coaching
✓ business + donor psychology
✓ communication strategy
✓ on-camera performance training
✓ brand clarity and narrative alignment
We don't just help you tell a better story, we're helping you unlock the right story, deliver it with confidence and heart and apply it strategically for cash flow, visibility and trust.
Our process is part therapy, part strategy, part transformation, part performance coaching, and part brand evolution, all wrapped in a safe, human-centered environment.

WHAT MAKES THE BEYOND WORDS APPROACH GOLD STANDARD:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We extract stories people can’t access on their own.
Because of our Chief Storyteller's newsroom background, we ask questions other coaches or strategists don’t even think to ask. We see angles, emotional beats, and narrative threads instantly.
Most people can’t articulate their story because they’re too close to it.
We'll pull out the gold you would have never found alone.
We make vulnerability feel safe — not scary.
Clients open up because we create a space where they feel:
- seen
- not judged
- guided
- emotionally held
- supported in stepping into visibility
We merge emotion with strategy (most people only teach one).
Other coaches: “Just be authentic!”
Strategists: “Just follow this framework.”
Videographers: “Just tell your story on camera!”
We bridge the gap:
Emotion → Story → Messaging → Strategy → Visibility → Revenue
That’s why the transformation sticks.
We don’t give generic messaging. We will guide you through our signature story system.
Clients walk away with:
- a core signature story
- complementary micro-stories
- message pillars
- talking points
- scripts
- content frameworks
- on-camera delivery skills
- a visibility roadmap
This becomes their storytelling blueprint for YEARS.
No other program gives this level of depth.
Our approach is not theoretical.
We've seen:
- stories change the outcome of donor meetings
- stories drive 6-figure fundraising
- stories create instant trust
- stories cut through noise
- stories open doors to stages
- stories turn cold outreach into warm Yeses
WHY OUR METHOD WORKS WHEN OTHER THINGS HAVEN’T
Because most people have tried “tactics,” not transformation.
We don’t give social media hacks or plug-and-play scripts.
We're going to help you shift internally so that your heart comes through on camera that everyone can see and feel.
Because you've been trying to build messaging from the brain, not the heart.
Most people try to articulate something they haven’t yet felt.
Our approach starts internally with the heart, emotion and truth that will help you connect.
Once that’s unlocked, the right message writes itself.
Because you've been telling the WRONG story.
Most people try to share:
- their résumé
- their timeline
- their business details
- their credentials
- surface-level “About Me” content
We help our clients identify the story that actually drives trust, connection, and conversions, giving you a strong narrative edge.
Because we coach them in real time.
We don’t hand you a worksheet and say, "Good luck!"
We sit with you.
We ask.
We listen.
We shape your story with you.
We help you speak it out loud.
We help you embody it on camera.
Because people trust someone who’s lived it.
We're not teaching a theory.
We've lived the fear of sharing our story.
We've navigated vulnerability.
We've rebuilt our identities through storytelling.
Our clients can feel that, and it makes our work land deeper.
Because our work connects on a human level AND a business level.
We help clients use their stories in sales, fundraising, recruitment, speaking, video, online content, networking, donor meetings, investor pitches, and beyond.
Our clients have a powerful mission, but they cannot articulate it in a way that gets people to care, take action, or buy.
They feel the significance of their work...
but they can’t communicate why it matters or why anyone else should care.
As a result:
- Their message falls flat
- Their content feels inconsistent
- Their pitch doesn’t land
- Their videos don’t convert
- Their story feels confusing or incomplete
- Their vulnerability feels terrifying instead of empowering
- Their audience doesn’t “get it”
- Their revenue or donor support is inconsistent
- They aren’t seen as the leader they truly are
And the most pressing issue?
They don’t know how to tell the ONE story that builds trust fast.
Not the long version.
Not the resume version.
Not the “I help X do Y” version.
Not the facts and figures version.
The emotionally resonant story that makes people feel connected, positions them as the obvious choice, creates loyalty, inspires action, differentiates them instantly, turns strangers into supporters, clients or donors.
Without that story, everything else they’re trying to do is harder, slower, and less effective. Being able to articulate your story is directly tied to your:
- income
- visibility
- influence
- opportunities
- donor support
- ability to get on stage
- ability to get on camera
- ability to lead
- ability to attract aligned clients
- ability to build trust
If you can’t clearly and confidently communicate your story, you feel stuck. You overwork, undercharge, you're passed over, you struggle to grow, and you're burned out trying to figure out what works. This isn’t just a messaging problem. This is a capacity, confidence, and opportunity problem. The moment you unlock their story, people listen and you become magnetic (hello lead magnet!). Your story will accelerate fundraising, sales, partnerships, grants, speaking opportunities, referrals and retention.
My signature story experience that I guide you through will save you years of trying to figure out how to articulate your story. I'll help you do it in hours.
This isn’t a one-time fix. It’s a lifetime transformation. It's a mastery process for crafting YOUR story that will inspire, convert and scale your mission.
Everyone Wants Return on Investment.
90% Say Video Helped Generate New Business
Studies show we spend an average of 17 hours/ week watching videos online. Most people will watch videos before buying a product or service. By having videos at your disposal to display online, you're more likely to get in front of new audiences who are interested in your product or service.
48% Higher Engagement
Video posts on social media get 48% more views than standard, non-visual posts. Our clients share our videos on social media to help get new leads, help with fundraising efforts for their organization, and help market themselves.
80% Increased Conversion Rate

How Videos Help You
Engages People
It's one of the most powerful marketing tools you can use. (The most powerful marketing videos are the ones embedded in empathy)
Provides a Greater Return on Investment
Invest in a video and let the power of the internet and marketing show you a greater return on the investment.
Shows What Words Cannot
Videos can explain what you do, how you do it, and why you do it better than words on a page, which most people don't take the time to read.
Compels People to Take Action
Powerful storytelling will result in a call to action, whether that's donating, following your social media, referring you, or booking you for work.
Gives People What They Care About; AUTHENTICITY
Being raw, emotional, and transparent on camera is one of the most engaging and memorable things you can do for yourself and your business. People connect with people, not things. Businesses should focus on selling an emotion rather than a product or service.
Gives Clients a Front Row Seat to the Most Valuable Asset of Your Business: YOU
Clients like to work with people who will be honest, authentic, and easy to work with. By putting yourself on camera and sharing the personal side of things, they establish a personal relationship with you before the partnership even begins.
