It all starts with a story…
Spendlove and Lamb specialise in storytelling training, narrative strategy, story-driven content procurement and management. We help businesses and organisations tell stories that move them into their ideal future state.
Megan Davis, Lead Storyteller at Spendlove and Lamb, has been crafting narratives in Melbourne and worldwide since 2012, specialising in narrative strategy and storytelling frameworks for innovation. Megan has been immersed in the craft of storytelling since she debuted on stage at the tender age of seven years old. Putting empathy first in business and life, Megan loves sharing her knowledge by speaking, training and consulting on projects that are changing the world.
Our founder’s story is a bit, well, unusual. In 2012, our lead storyteller, Megan, quit her job, moved out of her house, put her things in storage and decided to start over. She wasn’t happy with her life’s path, so she jumped off to see what would happen. She became houseless and jobless as she travelled the world. She returned to Australia with 20 dollars in her pocket and one question in her mind, “What am I going to do to survive?”
While houseless, she took a photo of the bed she slept in every night and posted it on a blog, The Bed Blog, which was linked to her Twitter and Facebook accounts. She posted a photo daily on social media, and people started getting in touch.
“You need a job? I have some design work. Would you be able to do this for me?”
“Want to come over? I will cook you dinner; we would love to see you and hear about your travels.”
This was powerful. The right story and the proper delivery method kept her clothed, fed, and housed, and it made her new friends. People commented on her blog and social media posts, encouraging her to keep going and not give up! It was humbling and taught her about the generosity that exists in the world. This is how she learned that story is the cornerstone of communications and creating relationships and is our most valuable asset.
