Hi, I’m Vishal Thacker
I help you articulate essential narratives that flourish your career or your organisation.
Having taken to writing & public speaking in my teens, I pursued my career in brand strategy. I learned that I excelled at helping brands uncover their essence and in over 15 years, helped Coke, Kellogg's, Danone etc.
During my MBA, I found my second calling: helping career changers reframe their narratives to drive career success. So I pivoted to a career as a visiting professor in executive education and have enabled 3500 career changers in world leading MBA programs: LBS, IMD, Esade etc.
I've found a love for stories and learned that mythology offers maps, systems and methods for individual & collective flourishing.
What brings it all together? Each organisations & individuals has a unique essence that drives effective action & communication: a red thread.
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
“All organisations rely on myths ... Myths can transform a place of work into a beloved, revered hallowed institution. Myths undergird an organisation's values ... define a unique distinguishing character.”
Reframing Organisations: Artistry, Choice & Leadership
“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
“Replay the story of where you have been (or what you have done) that led up to where you are now, and then visualise what you and others must do in the future so you will reach your goals”
