Paige Williams | Narrative Intelligence, Leadership & Change

Audiences can expect a smart, engaging, highly interactive session that combines compelling storytelling, original research, practical frameworks, and real-world application. Paige does not deliver a generic motivational talk. She helps people examine the stories, assumptions, and interpretations shaping how they lead, decide, create, and respond to change.
Every session is tailored to the audience and the moment they are in. Participants are invited to reflect, discuss, and apply the ideas to real decisions and challenges. They leave with a clearer understanding of what is shaping their thinking, a practical framework for seeing more possibilities, and specific questions and tools they can use immediately.
Paige’s style is warm, candid, thought-provoking, and participatory. Her goal is for audiences to leave not only inspired, but seeing something differently—and knowing what to do next.

Paige Williams is a Narrative Intelligence researcher, innovation strategist, bestselling author, filmmaker, and second-time tech founder. Her work explores how the stories people and organizations carry shape judgment, identity, creativity, leadership, and change.
She is developing the field of Narrative Intelligence: the human capacity to work consciously with the stories through which we interpret experience. Through original research, interviews, writing, and work with leaders, Paige studies how people recognize the narratives shaping their decisions, distinguish fact from interpretation, expand what they can see as possible, make conscious choices, and put those choices into action.

Paige is the bestselling author of The Twelve Creative Keys, a practical framework for navigating creativity, resistance, uncertainty, and transformation. She is also the founder of Story Keys and previously built AudPop, a technology company and global filmmaker platform that worked with major brands and supported thousands of creators.

As a speaker and facilitator, Paige has worked with organizations including Microsoft, Nasdaq, ALPS, and the Montana Chamber of Commerce. Her talks combine storytelling, original research, practical tools, and audience participation to help leaders think more clearly and move through change with greater agency.

Her speaking topics include Narrative Intelligence, human judgment, leadership, creativity, decision-making, and what change actually asks of us.
