About

Most leaders are doing their best. But trust is dropping and engagement is slipping. 68% of people believe business leaders purposely mislead them (2024 Edelman Trust Barometer). And when trust goes, so does collaboration, retention, and results. I spent nearly two decades as a brand strategist and storyteller with companies like Unilever and Woolworths. I was good at crafting polished narratives. But I noticed those stories rarely built real trust. Then life shattered me. I lost five family members in a year, became a mother, and faced postnatal depression while running a business. I started sharing what was actually happening. The scary parts. I thought it would ruin my credibility. Instead, people trusted me more. That's when I realised: traditional storytelling is polished and designed to impress. It says "look at me." But the stories that build real trust aren't told. They're shared. They say "I see you. I get it." So I created StorySharing™. Not a program that teaches you to be a 'better presenter', but a methodology that helps leaders find the real stories they already carry and share them in ways that build trust and connection. Neuroscience backs this up: when someone shares an authentic story, the listener's brain mirrors theirs. That's how empathy and trust get built. Through workshops, coaching, and keynotes, I help leaders and teams find and share the stories that build real trust. Together, we explore: ➥ What stories are already in the room, just waiting to be discovered? ➥ How to deliver stories that are vulnerable, authentic, and human. ➥ What it looks like to share stories in a way that moves people and builds connection and trust. In an increasingly automated world, your humanity is your edge. It's time to lead with it. Don't you think?

Experience

Nimarta verma

StorySharing™ Facilitator, Speaker and Coach

Jul 2024Present · 1 yr 8 mos · Sydney, NSW

  • It's tough being a leader in today's climate.
  • We're told to "be authentic" while simultaneously being coached to never show weakness. To "connect with your team" but keep your personal life out of it. To inspire trust while basically performing a version of yourself that doesn't actually exist.
  • And I'm tired of pretending this makes sense.
  • You can't lead people you're not truly connected to. And you can't connect when you're constantly performing some idealised version of leadership instead of just... being human.
  • So how do you bridge that gap? Through the stories you share.
  • Here's what I've learned after years of watching brilliant leaders struggle with this: the stories that build the deepest trust aren't the ones where you look perfect. They're the ones where you're real – where you share the moments that actually shaped you, the struggles that taught you something, the times when being vulnerable made you stronger.
  • That's where StorySharing™ comes in. Not storytelling – that's performance art. StorySharing™ is about being honest about the experiences that actually shaped you, then learning to share them in a way that makes people go "wow, this person gets it".
  • Because here's what science tells us: when you share something genuinely vulnerable, people's brains literally sync up with yours. Mirror neurons fire. Oxytocin flows. That's not just trust – that's human connection at a neurological level.
  • In a world where everything feels fake and AI-generated, your humanity isn't just refreshing, it's your competitive edge.
  • Here's how I help:
  • 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺𝘀: Workshops and tailored programs designed to foster connection and trust
  • 𝟭:𝟭 𝗰𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴: Deep-dive sessions where we uncover and craft your real stories
  • 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺𝘀: Intimate cohorts where leaders practice StorySharing™
  • 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴: Events where leaders leave ready to lead more authentically

Conference Speaker | Workshop Facilitator | Specialist in StorySharing for tech businesses

Dec 2023Present · 2 yrs 3 mos

  • I speak at tech conferences and startup hubs to help founders discover and share their stories in a way that connects—not just broadcasts. I've trademarked StorySharing, a new approach to storytelling rooted in generosity, vulnerability, and human-to-human connection.
  • Through my talks, I help attendees think from their audience's perspective—what do they care about, what problem do they need to solve, and what do they need to hear? It's about inviting people into an experience.

Transforming your messaging to attract customers, investors, top talent

Dec 2021Present · 4 yrs 3 mos

  • Jargon, complexity, confused messaging—it shrouds your product's brilliance, its value. There's no clarity, and so potential customers and investors can't connect. This is where I step in.
  • I help founders in the tech industry craft human stories that engage and purposeful “we believe” statements that sit at the heart of your marketing. Through a structured, hands-on process, I guide you to uncover the core of your brand—your beliefs, your values, your purpose. Then, we craft a manifesto that articulates why your brand matters, and we build messaging your audience can relate to.
  • 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫? Because when it comes to marketing, stories are remembered up to x22 times more than facts alone!
  • My Done-With-You Framework is about strategy, but there's a coaching element, too, that keeps you moving forward. We identify pain points, simplify product messaging, and use truly disruptive brand story-sharing to engage customers and investors.
  • 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭? Clear, audience-focused messaging that lifts visibility, inspires trust and drives action.
  • Your story is more than features—it's the reason your product matters. It’s time to get out of your head, away from your tech, and into the minds of those you want to win over.
  • Let's share your story with the world.

  • You've come so far, but scaling a business requires more. It demands strategy and direction. It needs stories that resonate. Whether you've hit a wall or are planning to venture into new markets, you need clear messaging and a purposeful growth plan.
  • I deliver a full-service marketing strategy and storytelling service for businesses ready to scale. Think of me as your mini marketing agency or marketing director without the overhead, someone who takes the lead in project managing, sets the vision, produces the content, and tracks your progress.
  • I bring in trusted collaborators to help with web design, SEO, video content, and more. I can even upskill one of your existing team members to take over, creating a sustainable, self-sufficient, effective marketing machine.
  • No wasted time. No random acts of marketing. Just intentional messaging, impactful stories, and a clear path forward. If that sounds good, get in touch.

Step change

Strategist

Aug 2016Mar 2018 · 1 yr 7 mos · Sydney, Australia

  • My role was to solve clients’ business problems – from running business strategy, marketing strategy, value proposition workshops to branding, to creative and digital strategy. The best part about this role was I got to work with all types of businesses, from banks to law firms to bread manufacturers, you name it. This allowed me to keep my finger on the pulse on what best practice and next practice looked like, and take inspiration from adjacent categories. In most cases I worked directly with business owners or C Level executives, and it was rewarding to see results produced by the strategy I helped developed.
  • My biggest learning from this role was: strategy is useless unless it could be executed simply. It served as a strategy bootcamp where my thinking was always put to the test whenever I released it to the ‘real world’. I also learned the importance of ‘test and learn’ and some of the Agile principles i.e. Fail fast.

Regional Account Executive / Regional Account Manager

Jan 2008Jan 2011 · 3 yrs · Bangkok

  • Brand: Unilever Skincare and Ice Cream brands
  • Geography: South East Asia
  • I started my career in advertising because I grew up watching soap operas with my mum, and sat through countless Ad breaks. I found myself devouring the TV Ads with intrigue. Some people made these ads, and now a whole nation has to stop watching their soap opera to consume them. I wanted to know who makes them, why and how they were made. More importantly I wanted to be one of those people who could create something into the world that would capture everyone's attention.
  • As an Account Executive, my salary was just a little above the office messenger but I absolutely loved what I did.
  • Two years into my role, I was promoted to Account Manager and given additional responsibility of overseeing the launch of a new Unilever ice cream brand in South East Asia.
  • My love for creative and brain for strategy allowed me to build good relationships with both the creative and the planners, which meant I kept projects on time and on brief, and clients happy.
