A One-Day Virtual Workshop
Your story isn't the problem.
The way you're telling it is.
Narrative Lab is a one-day virtual workshop for professionals and entrepreneurs who know they are underselling themselves — and are ready to do something about it today, not in six months.

What Is Narrative Lab?
The most expensive mistake professionals and entrepreneurs make is not a bad resume or a weak pitch. It is the undersell.
Describing ten years of leadership as "I assisted with projects." Calling a business that generates real revenue "a small operation." Walking into rooms — interviews, client meetings, investor conversations — with world-class capability and presenting like you are lucky to be there.
The undersell is costing you. Promotions. Clients. Rates. Opportunities that go to people who are simply better at packaging what they have.
Narrative Lab is a one-day virtual workshop where you do the work — in real time, with direct guidance — and leave with done work, not homework.
This is for you if you are
Two Editions · One Workshop

For the Professional (9-5er)
You have the experience and the track record. But your resume reads like a job description, your LinkedIn hasn't been touched in years, and every time someone asks "tell me about yourself" you feel like you're leaving the best parts out. Meanwhile opportunities that should be yours keep going to people with less experience who simply know how to talk about themselves better.
You will leave with
A positioning statement that actually positions you
A resume rewritten to lead with results, not responsibilities
A LinkedIn headline and About section that work while you sleep
A professional bio in both first and third person
A 60-second elevator pitch you can deliver with confidence in any room
A clear strategy for communicating your value and the impact you bring
A thought leadership content strategy so your expertise is visible to the people who need to see it
For the Entrepreneur / Business Owner
You built something real — but sometimes you feel almost embarrassed to talk about it. Not because the business isn't good, but because you don't know how to present it in a way that makes people immediately understand its value. You underprice. You over-explain. You watch less qualified competitors win clients you should have.
You will leave with
A business positioning statement that makes your value impossible to ignore
A founder story that builds trust before you say a single word about price
Client-facing messaging that commands attention and closes the gap
A pitch you can deliver confidently in any setting — investor, client, or cold introduction
A clear strategy for communicating your value and the impact your business creates
An expert content strategy that positions you as the authority in your space
A 30-day visibility plan you can execute immediately
How It Works
Most workshops teach you about things. Narrative Lab makes you do things — in the room, in real time, with peer feedback before you leave. Every exercise produces a real deliverable. By the end of the day you have not learned how to rewrite your resume or your pitch — you have rewritten it.
No homework. No 'apply this later.' Every tool, every framework, every rewrite happens live — with facilitator support and peer feedback so you leave with something you can use immediately.
At the opening of the day you introduce yourself exactly as you do today. At the closing you introduce yourself again — using everything you built. The transformation is audible. It is concrete. It is yours.
Every participant brings their own experience, industry, and story. The peer feedback inside Narrative Lab is as valuable as the expert facilitation. You will learn as much from the people in the room as from the agenda.
The Investment
At $197, Narrative Lab is the most accessible entry point into Vivian's methodology — designed for professionals who are ready to do the work and see the change immediately.
This is not the cheapest option. It is the most strategic one.
"The professionals who invest in how they are seen are the ones who stop waiting to be recognized — and start positioning for it."
— Dr. Vivian Otabor

Common Questions
What exactly happens during the workshop day?
Narrative Lab is a structured, live virtual workshop divided into focused implementation blocks. You will work through your positioning, LinkedIn, bio, elevator pitch, and visibility plan — with direct guidance, feedback, and support throughout the day.
Is this a webinar or a passive course?
Neither. Narrative Lab is a live, active implementation day. You will be doing real work in real time. By the end of the day, you will have built real deliverables — not a to-do list.
When does Narrative Lab take place?
Session dates will be confirmed and communicated to all registered participants within 48 hours of your registration. Register now to be first in line when dates are released.
What is the investment and how do I pay?
The investment is $197. Payment details and instructions will be sent to you following your registration and confirmation.
Is this for professionals or entrepreneurs?
Both. Narrative Lab is designed for anyone who is underselling themselves — whether you're a corporate professional looking for visibility and advancement, or an entrepreneur ready to sharpen how you show up in the market.
What if I can't attend the live session?
A recording of the session will be available to all registered participants. However, you'll get the most value from attending live where you can implement in real time and receive direct feedback.
Do I need to prepare anything in advance?
No extensive preparation required. Come with an open mind and access to your current LinkedIn profile, bio, and any relevant professional materials. Everything else will be guided during the session.
How is this different from other workshops?
Narrative Lab is built on the same proprietary frameworks Vivian uses with executives — the IPAS Framework™ and the Undersell Audit™. It is strategic, specific, and built for people who are serious about results, not just inspiration.
