Storytelling with Impact Your Story Matters

Why Your Story Matters

From the moment we’re born storytelling becomes a defining aspect of our humanity, helping us learn about a strange new environment as we listen to stories from family and friends.

Stories allowed us to make sense of the world around us, and consummate storytellers we all become in rather short order.

Through storytelling we hear about the experiences of others, sharing successes and failures, and the wisdom we’ve gained.

Through the telling of stories we have the profound ability to change someone’s life; to expand their horizons or alter their perspectives, and in doing so, envision a more joyful future.

Why Coaching Matters

While it’s true that we became storytellers at a young age, capable of having conversations which describe our experiences or explain how we feel and express our thoughts, few of us have been taught the fine points regarding how to tell impactful stories.

We spend years learning our profession – as a scientist, professor, attorney, accountant, doctor or musician, artist, designer, writer – fill in the blank. Thousands of hours devoted to honing our talents, yet very little time practicing the art of storytelling.

Similar to how coaching sharpens the skills of athletes, and taking lessons from professionals is common for musicians, working with speaker coaches helps you craft and deliver any story with greater impact and take your storytelling abilities to an entirely new level. The coaching process is tailored to your needs.
