The Story Code Co. helps senior leaders rewrite the stories that drive behaviour – through narrative intelligence, not motivation.
Decisions, teams and cultures don't follow strategy – they follow the stories leaders tell themselves. We develop leaders who rewrite those narratives at the source, with HUMAINWARE™, our AI coaching companion, to keep the new story alive every day.
Built on our proprietary CODE framework and powered by HUMAINWARE™. Every program is tailored to where your leaders need to grow.
A proven four-stage journey from inner critic to inner coach. Narrative intelligence for the AI era powered by insights and research from The Story Code for Leaders by Mark Jones.

Write a new evidence-based story with your Inner Coach and Healthy Beliefs. Discover and apply your Codebreaker Archetype to an emerging narrative.

The Story Code Co. lives at the intersection of journalism, technology, and leadership. Mark and Heather Jones built it on a combined career spanning IBM, Lenovo, Apple, and two decades of enterprise coaching across five continents.
The journalism background isn't incidental. It means we investigate before we prescribe. Every framework is evidence-based. Every insight is earned.



Mindset is often treated as a mood or a matter of temperament that can be fixed with simple tools. In leadership, it's much more consequential than that.

First it was IQ. Then EQ. Now the leaders outperforming their peers share one distinct advantage: Narrative Intelligence.

Leadership teams invest in the strategy. They rarely invest in the belief system needed to execute it. That's the gap.
