TRUSTING
YOUR STORY
Own your leadership.
Lead with your body.
Shape your narrative.
“Presence is a kinetic truth. It is where your internal emotional landscape meets your external command.”
- Preeti Vasudevan, Founder
Trusting Your Story (TYS) is an embodied leadership methodology rooted in the arts and designed for real-world leadership.
It helps leaders strengthen presence, clarity, and influence by working with their lived experience to unlock their creative power through authentic narrative, reflective practice, and movement-informed insight.
CORPORATE LEADERSHIP
Trusting Your Story brings embodied leadership into the workplace, helping leaders and organizations strengthen presence, clarity, and influence. It translates lived experience, authentic narrative, and movement-informed insight into practical tools for executive presence, communication, and leadership impact.
ARTS & PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT
Trusting Your Story brings embodied leadership into creative and community spaces, helping artists, educators, teens, and audiences connect through storytelling, movement, and cultural expression. It translates lived experience, authentic narrative, and movement-informed insight into transformative programs for education, public engagement, and immersive experiences.
THE BLUEPRINT
The Trusting Your Story (TYS) method, developed by Thresh, forms the proprietary toolkit from which we build our entire ecosystem—ranging from world-class theatrical productions and global educational outreach to bespoke leadership programs for a diverse spectrum of participants, from emerging youth to seasoned global visionaries. It is the engine that drives our creative presence across the globe, providing a consistent, high-performance framework that translates seamlessly across stages, boardrooms, and communities worldwide.
Embodied learning centers the body as the primary carrier of communication, memories, and emotions. Knowledge is acquired through physical and sensory experiences rather than abstract study, recognizing the body as the site where all lived experience is recorded and expressed.
This time-released energy builds long-term stamina and opens the mind to divergent thinking. Unlike the high-burnout of a traditional gym fix, this is Generative Activation. You leave mentally and physically recharged, equipped with the tools to fine-tune non-verbal communication for superior interpersonal impact.
“The emotion dissipated as I continued in the movements and breathing.”
— June Smith, Executive Coach/Creative/Writer

When we started, many students were fearful of songwriting. Breaking it into parts helped them run with their ideas. In the end, they connected deeply with the stories and grew as musicians and storytellers.

"This project has opened up my heart and my mind...and it seems like once you open that door—that's where the trust comes in!"
Seema Choudhary,
Young Women's Leadership Program Manager, South Asian Youth Action
"This was such a wonderful workshop that my junior high young women's leadership group enjoyed so much! They’re a very engaged group and a few of the students are dancers, so they loved the interactivity of the session and the theatrical elements to the storytelling. I love how the stories that are highlighted serve to uplift their South Asian identity and empower them as young women."
Dr. Aparna Venkatesan,
Professor, Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of San Francisco
"Thank you for this amazing energizing way to begin my day on the west coast! Loved reconnecting to my body as my friend and visualizing birthing a new future. Great way to begin Women’s Month!"
Ballet Rising,

Their work together on stage in India deconstructed hierarchies of East and West, suggesting that both dance forms and communities have much to learn from each other, along with strong potential for collaboration and lasting friendships.
