"Standing out has never mattered more. Whether you're an organisation or an individual, you need a clear, compelling story and the confidence to tell it."

Natasha Fennell is a leading authority on storytelling, leadership and influence. She is the founder and director of Stillwater, the Dublin-based consultancy known for helping leaders and organisations clarify what they stand for and communicate it with confidence. Her background spans broadcasting, political communication and senior advisory roles, including serving as Director of Communications for a presidential campaign. Before founding Stillwater, she worked as a reporter with RTÉ. A native Irish speaker who grew up on an island in the West of Ireland, she brings a distinctive perspective to every engagement. She is also co-author of the bestselling book The Daughterhood.

Natasha has become a trusted adviser to those working at the highest level. Her clients include senior leaders across government, business, media and the arts. The breadth of her background is felt in everything she does, offering clients the benefit of deep experience across sectors and contexts. Demand for her work is consistently high, with long-standing partnerships and waiting lists that reflect the impact of Stillwater’s programmes and keynote speeches.

A communicator at heart, she moves quickly from diagnosis to direction. She guides senior leaders to focus on what truly matters and craft messages that land. Straight talking, ambitious for her clients and grounded in empathy and humour, she works from a simple belief: clear stories drive action, and in a crowded world, attention is something you earn. Stillwater has continually evolved under her leadership, in line with the changing world of work, developing programmes such as Elevate Your Personal Brand, The Speaking Gym and Activate Through Story. Natasha’s keynote speeches are equally sought after, covering personal brand, storytelling and the art of confidence. No two are ever the same.
