Laurie is a strategic story marketer and facilitator with a decade of communication and campaigning experience in the small business, public and non-profit sectors. Laurie first met Lily and Pete through the Art of Mentoring; a movement cultivating connection to nature and community.

They reconnected at self-leadership centre Embercombe, where Laurie was first captivated by A Life Story. He leaped at the chance to help Lily and Pete share their intimate and inspiring story with the world, using effective strategy, story marketing and systems.

Embercombe is where Laurie reawakened to the power of storytelling for social change on its ‘Journey’ self-leadership course. He’s since trained in campaign storytelling with Campaign Bootcamp and in creative facilitation and storytelling on WildWise’s ‘Call of the Wild’ programme. Laurie loves storytelling in both work and play. He’s happiest sharing songs and stories with friends by firelight and he’s resigned to having a smoky aroma for the foresmellable future!
