Narrative is how humans make sense of identity, belonging, and becoming.

Narrative Capital™ is the accumulated value of a family or leader’s shared stories, lived experience, and meaning, held in language, memory, and relationship - enabling identity, trust, and continuity to endure across generations.

Narrative Capital™ is an intangible but compounding asset.

RE-CONNECT exists to cultivate and steward Narrative Capital™ - a home for narrative practice where lived experience is carefully held, shaped, and carried forward to support identity, belonging, and continuity over time.

We ensure that what matters most is not lost to speed, silence, or time.

People enter our narrative world at different moments - depending on what they are navigating, stewarding, or preparing for.

Narrative Capital™ strengthens the human infrastructure that holds identity, trust, and continuity over time.

Through our work, families and leaders gain:

• Clear, shared language for who they are and what they stand for

• Continuity even as roles, leadership, generations and context change

• Lived experience translated into learning, not lost to time

• Values and wisdom are carried forward with intention, not assumption

• Narrative assets - stories, artefacts, and records people return to over time

Our work supports:

• Intergenerational learning and stewardship

• Leadership clarity at moments of transition

• Trust, cohesion, and shared meaning across family systems

• The human and cultural infrastructure alongside wealth, governance, and assets

The result is Narrative Capital™ - an intangible but compounding asset, held in stories, language, and shared understanding, that strengthens identity, belonging, and continuity over time.

Our work is guided by a simple yet powerful understanding:
Narrative is how meaning, identity, and continuity are carried forward over time.

From this, we align with the following principles:

• Language creates possibility

• Meaning is made in relationship

• Listening is an act of leadership

• Identity is shaped through lived experience

• Legacy is not what we leave behind, but what is held, shared, and carried forward

Our practice is evidence-based, relational, and long-term.

It brings together narrative research, ethical practice, and lived experience - in service of Narrative Capital™: strengthening identity, trust, and continuity across generations.

We work with families and leaders at moments where identity, learning, belonging, and continuity matter most - often during transition, growth, succession, or reflection.

Our work is led by Nim de Swardt, an Australian Narrative Practitioner, with 20+ years of experience across 140+ bespoke narrative projects for significant families, founders, and values-led leaders.

RE-CONNECT is not a single voice.
It is a collection of minds and disciplines, brought together in the service of Narrative Capital™. 

Our practice draws on the collective expertise of: Narrative practitioners, strategists, psychologists, researchers, social scientists, advisers, human-centred designers, writers, editors, designers and storytellers. 

Together, we bring rigour and care to the work of narrative stewardship.

Our approach combines: Narrative research and evidence-based practice, deep listening and rigorous professional narrative interviews, strategic sense-making and long-term stewardship. 

RE-CONNECT operates with discretion, care, and long-term intent - holding lived experience with the respect it deserves, and shaping it into Narrative Capital™ that can be returned to, learned from, and carried forward over time.
