Today we are talking to Heidi Taylor, a sales coach who is also an introvert and a storytelling wizard. She crafts her own stories so compellingly that her readers or viewers can really get her. As part of her business, she teaches others how to craft and tell their own stories. If you're wondering how to tell your own story, you'll want to settle down and enjoy our conversation. 

Some of the highlights of the show include: 

• How Heidi's appearance, specifically her hair, helps her gain confidence while expressing herself.
• How Heidi came to clarity about telling her own story, beginning with the loss of her income from her business during the economic crash.
• Heidi's thoughts on her failures and how they have impacted not only her life, but also her storytelling.
• How Heidi helps others tell their stories, including resources that she uses to draw out someone's strengths and how others perceive them.
• A question that you should ask some of your friendly acquaintances so you can see how others receive you. This will help you hone your story more fully.
• Tips on getting to the place where your story can ultimately help you meet and relate to people.
• Tips that are specific to entrepreneurs and solopreneurs.
• How Heidi mines for topics and strengths for her clients to help them create their own stories.
• Why you should not try to emulate the way that other people present themselves.

Quotes by Heidi:

 

"To be able to tell your story well, you need a partner. You need someone to listen for the things you think are totally normal."

 

"When we watch movies, the most compelling stories are the underdogs and the things that happen that make us wonder how the person will climb out of the hole."

 

"The no-no is seeing someone else in your industry who is doing social media a certain way and trying to be them."
