527 | Storytelling to Grow Your Business

In this episode, I am sharing some reasons for how you can use storytelling to grow your business by building authentic connections and allowing others to see and hear you. We don't have to live the exact same stories in order to connect with others. By allowing others to see and hear our emotions, our experiences, they can see themselves in our stories and that is what continues to build the relationships. All business and connections are built on the backbone of relationships. In today's episode we discuss: 1) Storytelling makes you a real, relatable human who has lessons, experiences and expertise to share with others. It also removes the veils of social media and instead of showing the highlight reels it gives a real snapshot of who you are at the core. This is who others want to know. 2) Not everything in your story has to be shared. Only sharing your parts of the story, always leaving others in integrity and if you have to justify it to explain it then don't share it. 3) The simple framework is a)who you were before the story happened; b) what happened, your part of the story; c) now as a result you are or you do.
