STORYLIZE
Strategic Creative Partnership for Leaders.
You have great ideas.
BUT They’re not LANDING in
high-stakes rooms.
Most leaders struggle not because they lack vision.
They struggle because they can’t translate it into ideas people feel.
This is where I come in.
I help leaders shape ideas through-
Creativity. Story. Cinematic communication.
Hi, I’m GLENN, President of Skybound. We help folks lead and collaborate better. Professional development should be fun and engaging, and aimed at making workplaces more HUMAN.
we help leaders & teams to:
Show up bravely
& authentically
Connect and
communicate well
Tap into play
& creativity
TURN IDEAS INTO INFLUENCE, SUPPORT, AND ACTION.
I work with leaders whose success depends on buy-in, alignment, and momentum.
As a one-on-one strategic creative partner, I help you:
• Craft powerful signature stories for speeches and leadership moments.
• Elevate presentations into engaging, emotionally resonant experiences.
• Make pitches more persuasive for initiatives, funding, or approval.
• Win the support of colleagues, boards, and stakeholders.
• Entice donors and funders through clear, compelling narrative (nonprofits).
• Strengthen fundraising communication with clarity and emotional pull.
• Lead high-stakes conversations with authority, without over-explaining
The result: faster buy-in, stronger trust, and greater influence where decisions are made.
You don’t work with me to feel more confident.
You work with me to make your message land and move people to action.
Meet Rajeev Nirmalakhandan
Story, Creative, Presence Coach • Professor • Filmmaker
For years, his physical disability made it easy for others to overlook his value, no matter how prepared or qualified he was. He understands what it feels like to have strong ideas dismissed before they’re fully heard.
Everything changed when he mastered influential communication and narrative-driven storytelling.
Not performative confidence. Not speaking louder.
But clarity, creativity, and story.
People didn’t just hear him. They believed him.
Today, Rajeev brings nearly two decades of experience as a filmmaker, director, writer, and professor to help leaders leverage creativity, storytelling, and communicate with influence.
What sets Rajeev apart
Rajeev brings the trained eye of a filmmaker to your presence and performance, refining how you show up and command attention in high-stakes rooms. He develops original, narrative-driven concepts for pitches, campaigns, and promotions, turning complex ideas into compelling stories designed to shape perception, influence decisions, and move people to action.
