You have stories to tell … to the market, to clients, to your organisation, to funders, to project teams—but, for your point to be compelling, you need storytelling to trigger emotional responses beyond transfer of information.

Testimonials


“I have worked with Julian for over 30 years. JP was key to developing solutions to reposition the business to be the leader in the field. Since leaving Fletcher I have observed Julian in business sectors completely different to construction, challenging strategies and providing solutions to move from business as usual today to leadership in service solutions.”

—Peter Neven, ex-Fletcher General Manager

“I have had the pleasure of working with JPC for more than three decades—on a multitude of diverse projects, from brand campaigns to billion-dollar bids. He has always been a strategic thinker ... cutting through the noise of multiple perspectives and diverse opinions to find the simple winning gem of an idea or solution, usually seemingly effortlessly.”

—Angela Donohoe, Donohoe Design / Fletcher Creative Hub

“JP also plays a big part in shaping and maintaining organisational culture. He will challenge the norm, and through his fabulous storytelling he will bring life to the moments that matter.”

—Brian Kirtlan, General Manager, Fletcher Construction

“JP has exceptional capability to distil complex issues / concepts into a compelling story to enable businesses and individuals to best present themselves. He provides great counsel for senior leaders, is a trusted advisor and provides constructive feedback, often in very challenging environments.”

—Claire Stewart, ex Fletcher executive

“I was the facilitator for a team bidding one of New Zealand’s largest infrastructure projects. Before JP was called in to assist—the submission was ‘business as usual’. In the space of two months JP and his team transformed the document into a winning submission and a piece of ‘art’ that the client (Waka Kotahi) still refers to as a benchmark to this day.”

—Amanda Cooper, Alliance Coach, Elite Corporate Training
