Story, Rehearsal and Authentic Communication with James Healy
In this episode of reThink, Nicki Hambleton is joined by communication specialist James Healy for a thoughtful conversation about story, presence, and what it really means to rehearse.
James shares his journey from classical drama training to working with leaders, law firms and organisations around the world, helping them communicate with confidence, clarity and impact.
Along the way, the episode explores a common challenge many people face: feeling well-prepared, yet still nervous, flat or disconnected when it comes time to speak.
Together, they unpack why preparation alone often fails and why rehearsal, storytelling and embodied presence make such a difference.
James introduces his SOAR storytelling framework, showing how:
- situation sets context
- obstacles create engagement
- action builds momentum
- and results make ideas memorable
The episode also talks about:
- why stories engage us more than data
- authenticity and vulnerability in the age of AI
- how quieter voices can still command attention
- and how imperfection often builds stronger connection than polish
This episode is an invitation to slow down, speak ideas out loud, and rethink how stories, including your own, are told.
🎧 Whether you’re leading, presenting, teaching or simply trying to be heard, this conversation offers a more human way to communicate.
