01 Brand Identity Workshop

Through a trademarked and proven process, Monostory™ helps leaders and teams move beyond assumptions, personal opinions and surface-level language to create a lasting and shared understanding of the brand identity that they steward.

Who it’s for

The workshop brings together the CEO and key leaders responsible for stewarding the brand across the organisation.

It is ideal for organisations building a brand from scratch, undertaking a rebrand or refresh, navigating change, preparing for growth, or seeking stronger alignment across leaders and teams.

The workshop is also available as a 1:1 experience for individuals who want to clarify their personal values-driven identity for life and leadership.

What we’ll do together

Led by a facilitator with more than 20 years of experience across brand, strategy, leadership, formation and qualitative research, participants are guided to explore the deeper beliefs, values and ideas that shape the brand.

Every voice is heard. Every perspective is considered.

Together, we create clarity around the identity that should guide communication, culture, decision-making and growth.

This includes clarifying:

Vision
Purpose
Mission
Promise
Persona
Core Values
Counterfeit Values
The key areas that define your brand, leadership or life

The goal is to create a shared understanding of who you are and how you lead.

What you receive

Following the workshop, Monostory™ translates everything clarified in the room into a values-driven Brand Identity Document.

This becomes your internal brand foundation, brand dictionary and decision-making framework.

02 Brand Story Sprint

The Monostory™ Brand Story Sprint identifies the organising narrative your brand is here to carry.

The organising narrative is the few words that bring your identity together and help people quickly understand what your brand stands for.

It can follow the Monostory™ Brand Identity Workshop, or be used as a standalone sprint when your organisation already has a clear brand foundation.

Who it’s for

The Brand Story Sprint is for organisations and individuals that need Monostory™ to take their brand identity and develop the organising narrative, story architecture and messaging framework needed to communicate it clearly.

What you’ll receive

You will receive:

01. The Organising Narrative
The few words that bring your identity together and help people quickly understand what your brand stands for.
02. The Story Architecture
The meaning, proof, audience relevance and key ideas that explain why the narrative matters.
03. The Messaging Framework
Practical messaging and language that can be used across websites, campaigns, partnerships, presentations, internal communication and everyday planning between departments.

03 Strategic Partnership

Like renovating a house one room at a time, Monostory™ works with organisations in strategic planning contexts to ensure their brand identity and story are embedded across the decisions, priorities, communication, culture, experiences and initiatives that shape the organisation.

It can follow the Monostory™ Brand Identity Workshop or Brand Story Sprint, or support organisations that already have a clear brand foundation and story.

Who it’s for

Monostory™ Strategic Partnership is for CEOs, founders, executive teams and organisations who want their brand to guide strategic planning, decision-making and growth.

What Monostory™ supports

For organisations, Monostory™ provides strategic planning support to help embed brand identity and story across the areas that matter most.

This may include planning, priorities, culture, communication, offers, initiatives, audience understanding, leadership alignment and brand touchpoints.

Monostory™ also partners with TOV and The Future Leaders Group to give deeper coaching support to individuals, Senior Leaders and teams as they seek to live their values-driven identity.

What you receive

You receive strategic direction, innovation, planning and practical support shaped around your needs.

The goal is an organisation, brand or leadership life that is not only clear, but lived.

One Story. Lived Everywhere.

Connect With Sam

“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
“The Monostory workshop is a dynamic and comprehensive approach to articulating the ministry philosophy for an organisation (or individual): this is ‘the brand’. 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 - BOARD 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
The work Sam does is deep, human, and leads to powerful practical outcomes.
Jon - MANAGING DIRECTOR
“The Monostory Workshop was extremely insightful and valuable–a foundational catalyst for the momentum of our movement. Sam has a brilliant ability to draw out meaningful insights and facilitate rich, focused discussion in a group setting. She is an exceptional guide!
Beyond the workshop, she helped bring our “one story” to life across our sales and marketing channels, equipping our in-house communications team with a clear cohesive message spanning print, digital, sales presentations and in- person events.”
Alana - CEO
“Sam partnered with The Family Systems Institute team in a collaborative approach that respected the deep thinking and experience of team members, and with a process that brought about the best of each person in the room. She led with a clarity and hopefulness that energised the team, and the result was a shared vision that clearly defines our work and best represents our organisation.”
