Three New Certified Coaches Signal a Powerful Path for Clients to Multiply Impact

At Articulus, we believe something simple but powerful: You scale what you certify. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce that Flexential, a leading provider of data center and hybrid IT solutions, has taken a bold step to scale Corporate Storytelling inside their organization by certifying three internal Articulus Coaches. Please join us in congratulating Patrick Thompson, Paul Holmes, and Kortnie Elkins on earning the designation of Certified Corporate Storytelling Coach—a title that reflects not just personal mastery, but the ability to coach others in delivering high-stakes, persuasive messages using the Articulus methodology.

Coaching is the Catalyst for Scale

Certified Coaches go through more than a workshop. They learn the Articulus Storyboard inside and out. They demonstrate the ability to build clear, compelling, audience-centric messages. Then they take it further—through a multi-step coaching journey that includes observation, practice, reverse-shadowing, and assessment. When they finish, they aren’t just practitioners—they’re multipliers.

A Ripple Becomes a Wave

Inside organizations like Flexential, these certified coaches act as force multipliers. They help colleagues internalize the Articulus mindset. They coach teams to build better sales stories. They build confidence across roles. And they create a foundation of advocates who can drive clarity and action—long after the workshop ends. For clients who want the benefits of Corporate Storytelling to last and scale, internal certification is the next frontier.

What This Means for You

If you’ve worked with Articulus before and found value in our frameworks and training—imagine what it would mean to have that capability living inside your walls. You don’t have to wait for the next workshop. You don’t have to rely on outside scheduling. You’ve got experts right there—coaching others, elevating conversations, and helping your team show up with messages that matter. The path to Coaching Certification is demanding. But the payoff is lasting.

Congratulations again to Patrick, Paul, and Kortnie—and to the Flexential team for investing in the kind of capability that turns communication into a competitive advantage.
