Inner circle applications open NOW
How you speak decides
how far you go.
Learn to speak with clarity, confidence, and presence so people lean in when you talk.
Ever had this happen?
You’re in a meeting.
You know exactly what you want to say.
But when you speak, it comes out longer, messier, or less convincing than it sounded in your head.
Someone else jumps in.
They say it more clearly.
And suddenly their idea gets the attention.
Or this:
You’ve done strong work for months.
But when it’s time to explain it to senior stakeholders, clients, or your team, it doesn’t land the way you expected.
You leave the room thinking:
“I know I’m good at what I do… so why didn’t that come across?”
Or this:
You’re asked a question on the spot.
Your mind goes blank.
You start talking, hoping clarity will show up along the way.
Over time, something subtle happens.
You’re seen as capable and reliable.
But not always as clear, confident, or leadership-ready as you actually are.
Whether you’re leading a team, advising clients, or building a business, these moments add up.
Communication might have quietly become your bottleneck.
Imagine communicating like this instead
You walk into meetings feeling confident.
You explain a complex thought simply.
You tell a short story and feel the energy in the room shift.
You present and, feel proud of how you sounded.
People start to notice.
Your ideas get approved faster.
Clients trust you more quickly.
Stakeholders say “yes” instead of “let’s come back to this.”
You’re invited into more important conversations.
Asked to lead discussions.
Trusted with bigger decisions, bigger budgets, bigger opportunities.
Whether you’re leading a team, advising clients, or building a business, your communication is no longer a bottleneck.
It stops holding you back and starts advancing your career in ways you didn’t expect.
How the StoryLab Inner Circle works
01 Weekly Live Practice Sessions
Practice communication, don’t just learn about it.
Each week, you practice real scenarios you face at work, such as:
- speaking up in meetings
- explaining complex ideas
- handling questions and pushback
- presenting with clarity and confidence
You get comfortable speaking under light pressure and build confidence through repetition, not performance.
02 Weekly Group Coaching
Pressure-test your communication in real time.
Each week, members bring something real:
a presentation, a pitch, a story, a difficult conversation, or a moment they want to handle better.
You’ll workshop it in small breakout groups first.
Then selected members step into the hot seat for live expert coaching.
You get precise, actionable feedback on delivery, presence, structure, and handling pressure.
03 The StoryLab System
Follow a clear system instead of guessing.
You’re not left guessing what to work on next.
Short, on-demand lessons guide you through the core StoryLab system, so you always know:
- what to focus on
- how skills build on each other
- how to apply them at work
No overwhelm. No random tips.
04 A High-Quality Peer Community
Grow alongside people who take communication seriously.
StoryLab isn’t a noisy group.
It’s a curated community of ambitious professionals who want more from life.
- People who practice instead of perform
- People who give thoughtful, honest feedback
- People who understand your challenges at work
You’ll realize quickly: You’re not alone and you’re not behind.
05 tools & Templates
Prepare faster and speak with more confidence.
You get practical workbooks, tools and templates to support you in real moments at work.
They help you organize your thoughts quickly, prepare less, and communicate more clearly when it matters.
What you'll Master
01 Confidence & Speaking Comfort
Learn to feel calm and grounded when you speak, even in high-pressure situations. Instead of forcing confidence, you train it through simple routines and repeated exposure. Over time, speaking starts to feel natural instead of stressful.
02 Clarity Without Preparation
Learn how to organize your thoughts quickly and express ideas clearly on the spot. This helps you answer questions without rambling and speak up even when you are not fully prepared. It is what makes you sound sharp and composed in meetings.
03 Presenting & Meetings
Learn how to structure presentations, updates, and contributions so people follow you easily. You will know what to say, in what order, and how to keep attention without overperforming. This applies to formal presentations as well as everyday meetings.
04 Business Storytelling
Learn how to use simple, practical stories to make ideas more memorable and persuasive. No drama, no oversharing, no complicated structures. Just clear stories that help your message land and influence decisions.
05 Voice & Presence
Learn how to use your voice and body language to support your message. You will sound more confident and present without sounding fake or rehearsed. This is what makes people listen when you speak.
Who the Inner Circle Is For
The Inner Circle is for ambitious professionals, leaders, and business owners who know that how they communicate now determines how far they’ll go.
It is for...

- Know their ideas are strong, but feel their communication doesn’t always reflect their level
- Are leading teams, advising clients, or stepping into bigger responsibility, with or without the title
- Are willing to practice, get honest feedback, and improve deliberately, not just consume content
is NOT for...
- You’re just starting out in your career and still learning the basics of work life
- You want a passive, watch-only course without speaking or participating
- You’re only interested in quick hacks instead of building real communication skill
- You’re not open to feedback, practice, or being challenged

If We Haven’t Met Yet, Hi. I’m Philipp.
Earlier in my career, I worked as a consultant at Bain & Company.
On paper, things were going well.
I was analytical, structured, and good at solving complex problems.
But when it came to meetings and presentations, I struggled.
I often knew exactly what I wanted to say, but I had a hard time saying it clearly.
I overexplained. I second-guessed myself.
And I could feel that my communication was holding me back.
That frustration followed me for years.
I tried everything to fix it.
Courses. Books. Frameworks. Techniques.
Some helped a little. Many didn’t.
I later earned an MBA from Columbia Business School and went on to work as a product manager at Uber.
Across consulting, business school, and tech, one pattern became impossible to ignore:
The people who advanced fastest were not always the smartest in the room.
They were the ones who could think clearly, speak simply, and communicate with confidence.
That’s when I stopped looking for communication hacks and started treating communication like a real skill.
Something you can train deliberately, through practice and feedback, not just theory.
The Inner Circle is the result of that journey.
It’s the program I wish had existed when I was sitting in those rooms, knowing I had more to say, but not yet knowing how to say it.
I've also coached some of most successful companies

Burning q's from previous participants
Most members spend 60 to 90 minutes per week.
That usually includes:
- One live session
- Light practice or reflection
- Applying what you learn at work
You get out what you put in, but this is designed to fit into a busy professional schedule.
No.
Many members join because they feel capable but not confident yet.
StoryLab is built to help you develop confidence through practice, not pressure. You are never forced to speak before you are ready, but you are encouraged to stretch at your own pace.
Yes. This is specifically designed for workplace communication.
Everything you practice applies to:
- meetings
- presentations
- updates
- leadership conversations
- Zoom calls
This is not about performing. It is about communicating clearly and confidently in everyday professional situations.
All sessions are recorded.
You can watch the replays and still apply the exercises on your own. That said, live participation accelerates progress the most.
Most courses focus on information.
StoryLab focuses on training.
You practice speaking, get feedback, and build confidence over time. That is what creates real change.
StoryLab is built around commitment and consistent practice.
That’s why we offer 6-month and 12-month memberships, rather than a month-to-month drop-in model.
You have full access to the community, live sessions, and course material for the duration of your membership. This structure helps members stay engaged long enough to see real progress.
Clear communication is not built overnight.
It develops through repetition, feedback, and time.
StoryLab works best when you commit to the process.
No hidden fees. You’ll get full access to the program, tools, templates, and bonuses with your purchase. We may recommend a few tools (like AI or editing software) to speed up your workflow—but they’re optional, not required.
