Stories Hold the Power to Transform
Stories help us make sense of change, connect across differences, and alchemize experience into meaning. I'm Amanda Pisetzner, an Emmy Award-winning producer and Emmy-nominated writer. For me, storytelling is at the very heart of what I do.
Whether you're gearing up to make your first documentary, interested in finding your voice as a writer, or curious about harnessing the power of storytelling for transformational change, I provide proven expertise, research-backed techniques, and thoughtful guidance to help individuals and organizations unlock the real power of storytelling.
Storytelling matters. Let's begin together.
Welcome
Did you know?
Storytelling is kind of like magic. It . . .
- Generates empathy and understanding
- Inspires action and change
- Builds community and connection
- Promotes healing and resilience
- Creates a shared vision for the future
- Entertains!
The stories we tell don't just reflect our lives — they shape them. Research in narrative psychology shows that we are both the protagonists and the narrators of our own stories. Not only do the stories we tell matter, but we also have some control over what becomes true for us. By harnessing the power of storytelling, we can change how we see ourselves, how others perceive us, and what becomes possible in the world around us.
This is the work of a storyteller.
Part narrative advisor, part meaning-maker, part story doula, I help people and organizations uncover, shape, and share the stories that matter. The ones that feel true. The ones that connect. The ones that transform. And, my favorites, those that make us laugh.
As an Emmy Award-winning producer, Emmy-nominated writer, and humorist, I bring structure, insight, empathy, and a little levity to the process. Whether you're clarifying a personal narrative, sharing your organization's mission, or crafting a creative vision, I'm here to help you tell it with authenticity and impact — so your story doesn't just land, it lives.
