The Circle
A community of leaders, creators, and changemakers growing their Narrative Intelligence to increase Narrative Influence.
Ask better questions. Craft better stories. Create meaningful impact.
The work you’re doing is big. But big work comes with big questions—questions that don’t always have clear answers. Questions like:
"How do I create stories that inspire meaningful change?"
"How can I connect more deeply with the people I’m trying to reach?"
"Am I leveraging Narrative Intelligence to its fullest potential?"
These aren’t simple questions. And when the stakes are high, trying to figure them out on your own can feel overwhelming.
You don’t have to navigate this alone.
Without a space to explore, refine, and expand your narrative intelligence, even the most dedicated storytellers and leaders can feel stuck.
But here’s the good news: Every challenge is a story problem, and every story problem has a solution.
That’s why we created The Circle.
The Circle is where leaders, creators, and changemakers come together to refine their stories, ask better questions, and find clarity, all while growing their Narrative Intelligence and increasing their Narrative Influence.
Led by leading story practitioner and Head of Istoria Institute, Michael McRay, The Circle is a space for exploration, collaboration, and real-time growth.
Whether you’re looking for insights into your storyOS™, feedback on a specific story-related challenge, support as you navigate complex narratives, or want to increase your Narrative Influence by doing your best, most creative work as a storyteller, The Circle is here to guide you.
Become part of this transformative community and gain the clarity you need to solve the story problems that are keeping you making the impact you want.
“Before I joined the Circle, I understood storytelling but did not take the time nor realize how stories in my life impacted my daily mindset. Working weekly with Michael has been life changing.”

I looked forward to not only the lessons and stories shared in our weekly Circle calls, but the community that was formed there with the other cohorts.”
