A storyteller can be called to be many things: a performer, an entertainer, a teacher, a musician or any combination of those. I've been lucky. Over the past 25 years, I've also been called to be a counsellor, a mentor, a therapeutic storyteller, a narrative consultant, a radio host, a writer, and an End-of-Life (EOL) Planning Educator & Facilitator. I am the proverbial "Jack of all trades" and proud of it. I am an artist in the broadest sense of the word and proud of it.
At the core of all I do, stands a storyteller. Whether I'm entertaining, educating, counselling, taking photographs, making films, or helping someone create their legacy, my task is to serve the story. And whether I'm working with a class of 9-yr olds or a room of elders, a boardroom of CEOs or an online group of adults creating their end-of-life plans, I serve the story that serves them.
I invite you to explore my site and discover what I can do for you: whether its helping you sort out your end-of-life plans, bringing stories to your classroom or to a seniors centre, helping you sort out the story of your business or service, or speaking at your next event, I look forward to serving you.

Michael Williams is a storyteller of compelling skill. He is also a fine human being who engages in all situations and draws people into the warmth of communication and shared experience." Donald Smith, Director, Scottish Storytelling Centre
"The Importance of Storytelling" is a short film by Canadian film-maker Jakub Wingell. It was filmed during the 2019 Scottish International Storytelling Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland. It features storytellers Michael Williams and David Campbell.
I welcome all the different ways that stories can be told. We're all storytellers. Stories are what connect us with one another, or as the Scottish Travellers say, 'eye to eye, mind to mind, and heart to heart'." Michael Williams
