I Have So Many Stories—But Which One Will Actually Land Me Clients?

You've got the expertise. The credibility. The stage presence.

But when it comes to your keynote, you're stuck in story paralysis.

You know you have powerful experiences to share. You just can't figure out which one will actually convert applause into clients.

Here's the truth: You already have the story. You just need someone who knows how to help you find it—and architect it so it lands.

Working with Andrea Merrill completely transformed the way I approached my keynote for Called To Lead. Andrea has a true gift for mining the gold in your story — she helped me uncover the most powerful, authentic pieces of my journey and shape them into a message that deeply connected with my audience.

Her approach goes far beyond structure and delivery; she truly helps you find your voice and express it in a way that feels aligned, confident, and impactful. 

Andrea also came into my High Performance Academy to workshop with my clients, helping them uncover and craft their own signature stories and keynotes with the same care and brilliance she brings to every conversation.

If you’re preparing for a keynote, presentation, or any talk where your story matters — Andrea is the one you want in your corner. She has a rare ability to draw out your truth, shape it into something powerful, and help you share it in a way that moves people.

Let me tell you, it was beyond a success. The room was so silent you could hear a pin drop and audience held onto every word. I can’t thank Andrea enough for helping me tell my story as well as pinpoint exactly what I can offer to other women.

I met Andrea at a conference last spring and immediately knew I had to work with her. We scheduled a two hour story mining session. She knew the exact questions to ask about my personal life and was able to weave my story perfectly into what I do as a therapist and coach today. She helped me craft a beautiful 30 minute keynote speech. I was recently asked to do a 7 minute speech at a local conference and she was able to pull

from what she crafted and turned it over for the time restrictions. Let me tell you, it was beyond a success. The room was so silent you could hear a pin drop and audience held onto every word. I can’t thank Andrea enough for helping me tell my story as well as pinpoint exactly what I can offer to other women.

"Andrea Wrote My Keynote—And Gave Me My Voice Back"

"What Andrea does is incredible. I'd been stuck for so long on where to start with my keynote. I knew my story mattered, but I couldn't figure out what to include or how to structure it.

Then I sat down with Andrea for her story mining session. I feel comfortable enough with her to just spill my guts—and that should tell you a lot, because I don't trust a lot of people. It all kept coming. My husband didn't even know I was that involved. When I finished, I was like, 'Dang—she just wrote my book AND my keynote.'
 

Here's what makes Andrea different: You think you know your story, but she can show you a DIFFERENT story—the real one. I probably wouldn't have talked about certain parts on my own. We would've gone a different way, but it wouldn't have had as much impact.

When I got my keynote script back, I waited two weeks and then reread it. Everything sounded like ME. There was nothing to change. My husband—who filters keywords because I talk so much—sat there and read the entire thing without stopping once. He said, 'I was riveted. I wouldn't change a thing.'
 

Even the painful parts of my story... the script took the sting away. Hearing it over and over in Andrea's words really did it. I've never told people about that side of my story because I don't want to wallow, but this was different—it's a healing experience.
 

The night I made my first video practicing it, I felt so FREE. I was like, at least I know I can do it now. Even my husband laughed and said, 'She doesn't know your stage experience, right? She's already nailed all these cues.'
 

Look, we did speaker therapy. Andrea has a gift there—what she uncovers through her questions and what she came up with is like nothing else. She really story mines.

Andrea, you're going to be what I need. Perfect."
