Make your story matter.
I help passionate people
to lead effective and impactful
purpose-driven lives.
It's all about clarifying your message and then engaging strategically... with authenticity.
A Stronger Narrative helps you to:
- see clearer: clarify your own vision and messaging
- think smarter: strategically plot out your course
- connect better: engage with your stakeholders much more effectively
- lead stronger.
You'll learn how to increase the depth of your engagement
and the breadth of your spheres of influence.
We do this by boosting your understanding:
of yourself,
of your key stakeholders,
and about how to connect strategically with them.This will help you to engage at a deeper level with clients and colleagues (and even your personal relationships!)

Training & Facilitation
Empower your team. Shape your culture.
I am regularly called in to equip teams and key staff, either through training sessions or one on one support.
I also facilitate team building activities and planning sessions, so your team is inspired with a common vision and a clear understanding of how to get there... together.
I don't just teach you what to think; I teach you how to think.
Investing in your staff makes them happier, more confident and more collaborative. It also reduces staff turnover. All of these save you money and easily justify the investment.

Help for
Individuals
Coaching
Personal equipping for leaders (established and emerging)
I equip people in, or seeking to be in, positions of influence.
You'll learn how to take a holistic view in your decision-making, so you can be effective and happy in both your work and your personal life.
I don't just teach you concepts, but rather impart wisdom. Every session you'll receive practical frameworks that you can apply in your specific circumstances... TODAY. And also well into the future - because I also teach you how to read the trends, so you can pre-empt future shifts, instead of just reacting to them.
I draw from 20 years' experience of mentoring and coaching individuals, as well as wide-ranging experience from the corporate, local government, arts, welfare and non-profit sectors. Check out my testimonials below.
Coaching can be done in a standard course, a mini-course, or in single sessions. A tailored executive course is also available to suitable clients upon application.
Workshops
Upskilling on specific topics
I host regular practical workshops on specific topics including:
- Finding Your Purpose
- Differentiating Yourself from others
- Connecting Better with your audiences
- Increasing Your Impact through what you do.
These are stand-alone sessions, which are packed full of original material, backed up by a range of resources from around the world.
They usually include case studies based on real life situations, allowing you to learn not only how the concepts apply to you personally, but also how they can be applied in different scenarios.
These workshops are also often a good mini-taster of what a full coaching course includes. Existing coaching clients also get free access to some of these throughout the year.

Testimonials
What clients say about me
John Englezos
Award winning artist, photographer and author
There are few people out there that I would readily describe as "visionary", but Eugene is one of them. He takes the time to listen to the stories of others, sees a need in the community and provides thoughtful and creative responses. The work he and his team... have done - particularly for the people of Melbourne - is nothing short of inspiring. I commend him to you wholeheartedly.
Farah Beaini
Director, Centre for Building Better Community
Miles ahead of others operating in this space, in the careful and thoughtful delivery of all services, and incredible insights that are cultivated within such a short amount of time. You won't regret attending and participating.
Bob Field
Community Engagement Leader, One Community
Eugene speaks the language of strategic identity and values with a rare clarity. This has served me both in my own professional development as well as in the organisations, teams and projects I have been involved in. I cannot recommend him highly enough...
His involvement brought both a sense of calm and a sense of agency into what was a very stressful, complex, messy role and team. I was provoked to think higher and wider than I had been. I was challenged to engage in inventive solutions which began to unlock departmental entrepreneurialism both personally and for our team.
He was able to equip me with tools to journey back towards the clarity of what was at my - and by extension - 'our' organisational core story and business. And he does this with good humour, intelligence, patience and tactical creativity.
He brings a wealth of knowledge and experience. He has a diverse collection of teachings, strategies, vocabulary and moments of calculated silence following hard questions.
I wholeheartedly recommend him to any individual or organisation which needs to unlock the kind of clarity that moves one forward from a place of feeling stuck or overwhelmed.
Call him. Book him. Invite him into your story and expect to be asked the calm, considered, provoking questions which you need to hear. Expect gentle clarity and tactical creativity. Expect to get to the 'aha!' point - but maybe not by the path you imagined you'd take.
Glenda Chi
Director, Made To Create
Eugene is a culture shaper and strategic world changer. He does it through developing community and building relationships. Whether it is in the corporate workplace or the arts, his passion is to see people thrive in themselves and in their environment. It is such a privilege to be working with Eugene in various collaborations and would recommend his expertise as a strategist for any business, organisation or community
Remy Chadwick
Creative Director, St Matt's Prahran
Eugene is an expert in cultural diagnosis.
Many organisations face internal and environmental challenges which they try to resolve by improving common aspects eg. ROI, talent pool, marketing, internal comms. Eugene trains the people who work with him to see the cultural foundations of such challenges and how they flow into the organisational structure. His skill is empowering and energising others to do the work that is beyond your reach...
Eugene can help you discover a more generous and fruitful workplace culture.
Rob Nicholls
Community Leader, L'arche Melbourne
Eugene is an energetic and creative man who is also incredibly well-organised. He also has access to some very skilled people who complement his own skills. He has assisted me with anumber of events at two different organisations and I hope to have his assistance again soon. I would highly recommend him.
Jayden Battey
Director, Integrity Arts Australia
Eugene is the kind of strategist who remembers those on the ground.
Uniquely blending experiences in law, community consultation and development, arts and theatre, cultural analysis, and not-for-profit management, Eugene will work with your company or organisation to achieve a sensible, manageable and actionable strategic plan. In particular, Eugene has an eye for talent, and I can credit much of my personal and professional growth to his oversight, planning, training and - ultimately - trust. Passionate about developing well-rounded leaders, I highly recommend Eugene as a personal coach, organisational strategist, community development consultant, or arts management consultant.
Evan Englezos
Director, Live at the Saddle
Eugene understands the incredible value of community. More importantly, what Eugene offers is his deep experience, intuition and vision in facilitating spaces of imagination, creativity, sensitivity and wonder to shift communities and shape cultures.
Eugene and A Stronger Narrative have contributed to many Live in the Saddle events, transforming each one from a gig in a room into a fivefold sensory world of transcending joy and hope.
