Hi, I’m Vishal Thacker
I help you articulate essential narratives that drive effective decisions and communication in careers & business.
Took to writing & public speaking in my teens, built my career in brand strategy. Learned how brands define an essence that resonates with the market. During my MBA, I found my second calling: helping career changers reframe their narratives to drive career success. So I pivoted to speaking in executive education to help career changers. Today, I do both: consulting & speaking.
What brings it all together? I’ve learned that all organisations & individuals have a unique essence that drives effective action & communication.
I help you find your red thread.
My Unique Point Of View
A Story is something you live. Not just something you tell.
And yes, stories do matter to business and careers. Backed by greater minds.
“One of the central identity problems that has to be worked out during a career transition is deciding on the story that links the old and new self. Being in transition is like losing the plot of your professional life. You need to … find a new narrative thread.”
Author, Working Identity
“A business is like a person: it has a story to tell. And the best companies are the ones whose founders’ stories align with the business’s own mythology.”
Psychologist, Author
“That’s all you need — a red thread. That’s not always easy to find. But it’s nice to have someone who can give you a clue”
Discovered The Hero’s Journey
“My story and the evolution of the firm are inseparable.”
