Clarity changes everything.


Monostory™ helps leaders and teams get clear on who they are so everything they say and do connects.

When your message, culture, and decisions all tell the same story - people notice.

They believe you. They trust you. They connect with you. They follow you.

Let's Find Your Story.

The Problem

When your brand isn’t clear, you feel it.

The team is busy but moving in different directions.

Your website and words may sound right but don’t feel like you.

Decisions take longer because no one’s sure what matters most.

Growth feels messy instead of meaningful.

It’s not a marketing problem.

It’s a story problem.

Because your brand isn’t what you say, it’s what people experience when they work with you, buy from you, donate to you, are part of your community or hear your name.

Lets Solve Your Story Problem

The Solution

One Story. Lived Everywhere.

Monostory™ is a partnership that helps you:

  1. Get clear on who you are - your identity

  2. Find language and narrative that fits - your story

  3. Bring it to life every day - your strategy

It’s brand-building from the inside out, so your people, your message, and your mission finally pull in the same direction.

How it Works

Every project moves through three steps:

Identity

Who You Are

We start with the essentials: your vision, purpose, mission, promise, values, and personality.

Then, we look at what gets in the way of living that identity, the borrowed narratives, surface-level phrases, values and habits that sound right but don’t ring true. We call these counterfeits, and naming them is how clarity becomes real.

You’ll walk away with language that feels like you, not like everyone else.

It’s a deep learning and team-building workshop, a space where leaders slow down, listen, and rediscover what’s true about who they are and the story they’re here to live.

Story

How You Talk About It

Next, we turn clarity into language: your story, tone of voice, and key messages. From websites to board pitches, you’ll know exactly how to tell your story with confidence.

Let's Create Your Story

Strategy

How You Live It

Finally, we put your story to work in your leadership, culture, strategic planning and communication. Because a brand that’s truly lived earns trust that lasts.

Lets Talk about Your Strategic Needs

If you already have a clear identity we’ll get straight to building your story. If you have a clear identity and story we will partner with you strategically to live it everywhere.

Brand Storyteller.

Strategist. Researcher and Creator of Monostory™

Sam Valich has spent over 25 years walking alongside leaders and organisations who want to discover who they are and build brands that feel authentic and aligned.

Her work lives at the intersection of strategy, psychology, creativity, and meaning. She is fluent in the language of culture: how trust is built, how values shape behaviour, and how the dynamics between people become the story a brand tells the world.

As the creator of Monostory™, she built a trademarked process that helps leaders and teams align their vision, purpose, mission, promise, persona, and values into one story, lived everywhere.

She is a meaning-maker and bridge-builder, helping close the gap between what’s true on the inside and what’s seen on the outside. A translator of identity who reveals what’s already there. A keeper of integrity who helps make sure what’s said and what’s lived are the same story.

  • “It is an understatement - but Sam has been the catalyst that has revolutionised our organisation’s identity and provided clarity of thinking previously missing. Her Monostory process revealed the one story of our brand and then wrapped it in authentic language. It has been such a revelation to the board and to me as CEO of the organisation. But more than all this- Sam is someone who deeply cares about the outcomes, but also the people through the process. I am humbled and so thankful for all Sam has brought and continues to bring to the organisation I serve and my role. Thank you!”

    Nathan - CEO

  • “Sam Valich has been fantastic to work with. She combines three wonderful qualities. Firstly she has the ability to synthesize masses of information in order to understand complexity. Secondly, she can envision a potential future, along with a road map for how to get there. Thirdly, Sam has superb relational skills. She listens and understands people as well as structures. I wholeheartedly recommend her as an ally for any organisation.”

    Greg - BOARD CHAIR

  • I couldn’t recommend Sam more highly! She has been instrumental in helping our organisation define, articulate and craft a brand that encapsulates all components of our organisation including; cultural values, messaging platforms, visual identity, public relations and employee value propositions. To enable this work Sam was required to work across teams, countries, and languages and to continually develop the organisation’s understanding of the role of Brand. She is visionary and creative and has helped me push boundaries and ask questions about our organisation's future and its role in the sector. I am so thankful for her time on my team and for the personal support she has offered.”

    Clare - CEO

  • “Sam helped me with a personal brand exercise using her Monostory approach. I was amazed at the output and the Monostory, the telling of my story and values. Sam's approach was unique, clever, and ingenious as she could extract a lot of content to build a simple yet deep story. Working with Sam was easy and fun and her passion for what she does is contagious. I highly recommend Sam if you are interested in building your unique personal brand in a very special way.”

    Alan - SENIOR DIRECTOR 

  • “Sam is unlike any other person I've ever met. Dynamic, entrepreneurial and big thinking only begin to touch on some of the qualities she carries. Sam is a guru on new ideas and conceptual thinking. Her love for keeping one finger firmly on the pulse of culture, society, people and brands always meant she was the go-to source for inspiration and next-practice thinking. I loved working with Sam and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a brilliant-minded and passionate individual.”

    Caroline - STRATEGIC PLANNER

  • “Sam facilitated our Monostory workshop in May 2024. We gathered 12 people from all over Australia to articulate who we are and what we stand for. Or put another way, what is our story … our unique story. It was both a challenging and enriching two days. At the end of it everyone stopped, looked at our Monostory and said, “Wow. This is us”. The process was amazing. Sam is super skilled. It may be two of the most fruitful days I have had in my 17 years as CEO.”

    Ben - CEO

  • “Sam is an engaged and experienced facilitator who gets the best out of every participant and the group. I’ve been part of many vision and value processes (facilitating them myself with mixed results)… but Sam’s Monostory model and skill is exceptional.”

    Russell - DIRECTOR

  • “Before working with Sam I was frustrated when communicating my brand with designers. As a result, I wasted money, revision after revision. In one session with Sam, she helped me to get crystal clear on how I should communicate my values to everybody from designers to employees. I can honestly say it has saved me money, time and hassle. I would highly recommend small business owners work through this process with Sam.”

    Adrian - SME BUSINESS OWNER

  • “Sam was an absolute pleasure to work with. She is insightful and quick to understand organisational history, limitations and needs to adapt/change. Sam has the exact right balance between collaborative work, strategy, and task-oriented output. She has extensive experience and contacts, and she brings these to bear for the well-being and advancement of her clients and the people they are looking to support. I cannot recommend her highly enough."

    Sheridan - Director

  • I feel deeply grateful for the gift of having been taken through a Personal Monostory. Thank you for using your gifts, your formidable gifts. Thank you for so patiently working through my Monostory with me. Your ability to walk with people is impressive!!" 

    Ben - CEO

  • “Sam made an invaluable contribution to the strategic and creative development processes across the McCann WorldGroup. One of the reasons why I work is the chance to do stuff with people like Sam. She is a bright light that shines wherever she goes, full of enthusiasm, interest in others, and a love for what she does. I would fully recommend Sam to anyone who is considering using her services.”

    Richard - STRATEGIC DIRECTOR
