Story Spotting with David Pullan and Sarah-Jane McKechnie
Exploring the art, craft, and science of story with two experts.
In this episode of Speech Bubbles, Charlotte welcomes David Pullan and SarahJane McKechnie, who are actors turned coaches, authors, and co-founders of The Story Spotters. Their journey began in a rehearsal room, grew into a love story, and eventually evolved into a business where they now help leaders communicate with clarity, confidence, and connection.
With clients across industries, David and Sarah-Jane teach leaders how to use storytelling to cut through noise, win attention, and bring ideas to life. Together they’ve written two books: The DNA of Engagement and their latest release, The Art of the Unignorable Email, helping professionals communicate in ways that spark action, not delete buttons.
Charlotte, Sarah Jane and David talk about:
* Why stories activate the brain and make ideas memorable
* The secret to communicating in overwhelmed workplaces
* The real dynamics of building a business, writing books, and staying married
* Lessons learned from leaders they’ve coached across industries and continents
* Why listening, presence, curiosity and generosity matter more than volume or status
This episode is full of humour, humanity, and practical insights for anyone who wants to influence with integrity and communicate in a way that inspires.
If you’re a leader, communicator, coach, or simply someone who wants their ideas to be heard, you’ll love this one.
