from Speak Like It Matters Podcast · host Csilla Muscan

Send me a text!Not every good story belongs in your talk. I know, I know! But it’s true. I’ve seen too many leaders confuse “funny” or “entertaining” with impactful. The result? Their audience remembers the laugh but forgets the message.In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the sneaky ways we sabotage our own talks by choosing the wrong stories. And don’t worry, I’m not just here to call you out. I’m here to hand you the tools so your next story actually lands.Here’s what you’ll walk away with:Why a hilarious story might actually undermine your authority (yep, Uncle Bob, I’m looking at you).How to start your story in the exact moment that matters without the ten-minute “let me back up” monologue.The “mirror test” that shows you if your story connects or if it’s just self-therapy in disguise.Think of this episode like tough love with a side of strategy. Because you don’t need more stories, you need the right ones. The kind that stick. The kind that shift people. The kind that make you unforgettable for all the right reasons.Your audience deserves better than the “lost luggage in Chicago” saga. And honestly? So do you.✨ Like what you hear? Don’t forget to subscribe and leave a 5-star review!👉 Become a Storytelling Pro in 60 minutes: Access the Story Method Workshop 👉 Never give boring talks, ever again.
