The Smiling Strategist Strategy Workshops are here!
THE STORYTELLING WORKSHOP
The Story Never Dies.
It’s been years, decades maybe, in the world of advertising.
And yet, one thing has never lost its magic.
Storytelling.
I’ve come to realise that the art of storytelling isn’t just what we do…
It’s why we do it.
When there’s no story, there’s no soul.
Every campaign, every pitch, every idea, it all begins with a story that moves us, that connects us, that makes us feel.
Over the years, I’ve been lucky to have countless conversations about this with clients and colleagues who believe in the same magic. Together, we’ve explored how stories don’t just sell, they speak.
At Brandself, I’ve poured that belief into something I’m deeply proud of:
A Storytelling Workshop designed to help you find, shape, and share your story with impact.
It’s been heard, practised, and celebrated by some wonderful teams and clients and now, I’m opening it up for more.
Whether you’re a marketer, strategist, creative professional, entrepreneur or a budding storyteller, this workshop is for you.
Not just for your brand’s story, but for your own.
Because storytelling isn’t confined to a brief or a brand deck.
It’s how we make people care.
So, if you’d like to explore the principles and practice of storytelling with me,
drop me a message. Let’s craft something unforgettable together.
Because when we tell better stories, we build better connections.
And that, to me, is where the soul of this business truly lives.

THE MILLENNIAL AND GEN Z WORKSHOP
🚀 The future is what we call The Zalphas: Gen Z + Alpha. And they’re already rewriting every rule in culture, tech, work, marketing, and family life.
Introducing THE ZALPHAS: THE YOUTH POWER WORKSHOP.
Decoding Gen Z + Alpha: Insights That Drive Growth. © The Smiling Strategist, 2025.
If you are a marketer, entrepreneur, parent, educator, HR leader, strategist, founder, content creator, or brand builder… you cannot afford to misunderstand these two generations.
Why?
Because, Generation Z is projected to reach US $12.6 trillion in global spending by 2030. Separately, Generation Alpha is projected to have an economic footprint of US $5.4–5.5 trillion by 2029. Combining these figures, brands that focus on Gen Z + Gen Alpha are targeting tens of trillions in future consumer power.
They shape brand trends, viral culture, workplace culture, creator economy, tech adoption, social movements, buying behaviors, the future of every industry.
Yet most brands, leaders, and even parents…
❌ Still don’t know how they think
❌ Still don’t understand their anxieties
❌ Still misread their values
❌ Still use outdated strategies
❌ Still treat them like “kids” in an adult-designed world
Zalphas are NOT the future. They are the NOW. If you don’t study them, you will lose relevance fast.
By the end of the workshop, you will walk away with:
✔ A deep understanding of what shapes Gen Z + Alpha
✔ New clarity on their behaviour, identity, fears and motivations
✔ Cultural intelligence that lets you interpret youth signals with confidence
✔ Algorithm literacy: Understanding how digital ecosystems shape their world
✔ A modern communication toolkit that earns trust and reduces conflict
✔ Insight into the psychology behind their decisions, buying patterns and loyalties
✔ A future-ready mindset and the foresight to anticipate youth trends
✔ Tools for building stronger relationships, better conversations and authentic engagement
✔ A complete reframe of modern childhood, adolescence and youth culture
✔ A competitive edge, whether you’re a brand, marketer, parent, educator or leader
And more…
