Storytelling for
Entertainment,
Business &
Legacy
Hi, my name is Ilze Be!
ILZE means I Love Zany Experiences.
BE means Be Who You Are. Unapologetically.
As a multilingual storyteller who knows
what it's like to search for the right words,
I help humans reimagine their stories —
for healthier, wealthier lives.
A good story is serious business — and it should still feel like fun to build.
It takes more energy to launch a space shuttle than to keep it flying.
The beginning is the hardest part of anything — and it's my favorite place to work.
I learned that teaching Latvian to absolute beginners, and it's why my newest offers are built for people just starting out.
Here's how we can work together:
Workshops & Consultations
— In-Person & Online
— For Individuals or Organizations
The Story of My Name
People forget names, but to survive in business, you need to be remembered. That's why, years ago, I invented the story of my [Latvian] name. This video shows one of the first times I shared it.
Names spoken quickly, mumbled at a networking event, are gone the moment the conversation moves on. The first seconds matter — you're either remembered or you're not.
The memorization skill I'm sharing in this video has become handy in storytelling and teaching others how to make their names and stories memorable.
Your name story is your brand.
It isn't just what you say — it's what people see and feel.
My tone of voice, my dress, my backpack, and my logo representing
the Latvian flag are all part of the story and brand of Ilze Be.
It's my choice and my expression, created with intention.
What's your story?
