Right now a story is influencing your future
The stories we hold about the world influence how we see our own potential and whether we see problems or possibilities together. Our stories can hold us down, or they can lift us up. We have the power to choose.

Change your story, change the world
The key is realising we live in a story, and that means we can change it. Changing your story is only the first step towards living into the future you want. Having the capacity to host your story to life is the other part of the puzzle.

Story is your secret superpower
SOAR helps people be the visionary leaders, changemakers and paradigm shifters they want to be through supporting them to find, craft, host and live a clear, compelling story that creates a powerful present and leads to a more flourishing future.

I'm Mary Alice & I'm a Story Activist
I've been travelling the world and going in and out of groups, organizations, systems and cultures for decades. I've realized story is the secret super power of humanity, and I've noticed that stories need good hosting to come to life. I love to play in this interface!
YOUR STORY IS YOUR FOUNDATION FOR BEING -- the roadmap for enabling your purpose in the world. I help people who want to be -- and lead -- the change discover and cultivate the story of their most flourishing future. Your story acts as a beacon lighting the way.
YOUR HOSTING IS YOUR FOUNDATION FOR ACTION -- how you work with others towards your story taking root in the world. I support leaders to create the capacity to activate and empower stories to life. How you take action, especially with others, matters.

I just love working with groups! Here's Brian Tarallo's harvest of my workshop "Change Your Story, Change the World" at the Power of Visuals Week-a-thon.

Take your story in a new direction in 2021

Imagine your future. Find your freedom.
Two amazing self-paced learning experiences are waiting for you right now.
IMAGINE is the support kit you need to create your greatest year ever. With simple potent steps it takes you from setting your foundations to dreaming your possibilities to creating your outcomes.
Its companion program FREEDOM invites you to recognize that freedom is not a matter of state, but of mindset. It offers potent and mind expanding steps towards creating more freedom in your life. Both courses are self-paced and easy to do wherever you are. Each consists of eight modules, and features a personal workbook and bonus materials to support your journey.

Simple practices that create leadership & community everywhere
We've taken the essence out of 50 years of group work to create THE 5 POWERS --- Simple practices that create leadership & community everywhere. The 5 Powers are practices that create ease, connection and a sense of invitation to make it easier to work and live well with others. Together, they create a foundation for success, wherever and whoever you are. The 5 Powers are simple, but potent mindsets that make all the difference. This is the next writing project for Mary Alice Arthur & Holger Scholz, colleagues dedicated to supporting people in building capacity to take on work and life.

This year, give yourself the gift of your own story
What better time then now to take a stand for who you want to to be and how you want to be in the world in the coming years. With everything else up on the air, your story is your foundation and your guide to the unfolding future. If you find yourself standing at the crossroads, if you're longing to make sense of the "messy middle", or you know there's more but you don't know where to find it, this is the experience for you. Join an international circle of story whisperers as we step into an online intensive by the fireside. You will find fellow travellers and have the opportunity to opt in for personal coaching.
