If we know stories have the power to connect us with others
and inspire them to take positive actions they might not have
otherwise, why do so many of us collide with fear, stress and angst
at the very idea of sharing our own unique
experiences? Through hundreds of conversations with women in
business over the course of nearly two decades as a
journalist-turned podcast host and media entrepreneur, I will tell
you I've encountered women of all ages, career levels and walks of
life who are hesitant to put their stories, missions and messages
out into the world. At the same time, becoming a voice in a
conversation that's larger than you are is increasingly crucial to
gaining visibility, strengthening a brand and reaching the right
audiences in our noisy, frenetic digital world. The good news:
telling your story doesn't have to go hand-in-hand with fear,
stress and angst. Based on a talk I just gave at the annual
Quadruplicity women's conference, this episode will explore
practical strategies for finding the story you want to tell,
starting to share it with the right audiences and bringing value to
those who hear it.
Learn how to tell your story with calm confidence by
listening to this week's solo episode of the Spirit of 608
podcast with Lorraine Sanders.
You will walk away from this episode with actionable advice
and tips for developing an empowered storytelling mindset and
beginning to share your unique story by:
Overcoming fear, stress and angst associated with telling your
story
Finding the right story to tell right now
Knowing your story's unique worthiness
