116 Find Your Story with Rachel Maunder

You don't need to have a big story to be a great speaker! You just need to know how all your little stories that have life lessons within them can be crafted into a captivating presentation. A talk that has your audience totally spellbound from the very first moment you open your mouth leaving them wanting more when you finish. This is what Rachel Maunder does as she helps speakers to find and hone their stories. KEY TAKEAWAY "If you are holding back from telling your story because you've got that voice in your head saying, who do you think you are to share your story? I would say to you, if someone somewhere needs to hear your story to help them take the next step to make their life better, I would turn that round and say Who do you think you are not to share it?"   ABOUT RACHEL MAUNDER One of Rachel Maunder's first observations about successful speakers was they all seemed to have a powerful story to share – and she didn't have one. This started her journey towards realising that everyday stories can be equally inspirational to an audience and that we all have a wealth of those. Passionate about inspiring people to speak up and inspire others by sharing their stories, both big and small, Rachel helps emerging speakers to hone their stories and to weave them into their own presentations for maximum effect.   CONNECT WITH RACHEL https://www.linkedin.com/in/rachelmaunder/ https://www.facebook.com/rachel.maunder.73/ https://mobile.twitter.com/RachelMaunder https://rachelmaunder.com/                                                 PARKINSON'S UK 'TIME FOR CAN' CAMPAIGN Parkinson's is the fastest growing neurological condition in the UK.
