Storytelling That Sticks for Business and Life

20. From Entitled to Empowered with Thayer Willis


Listen Later

Thayer Willis grew up rich. She was born into a wealthy family and became, in her own words, an entitled brat. Her story is one of self-revelation and transformation. When she hit rock bottom, she knew she needed to do something to turn things around. In this episode you’ll hear how she summoned the courage to confront her pain and find her way to a meaningful life. Her origin story became the catalyst for a successful speaking and consulting business.

Here’s a preview of what you’ll learn in this episode…

  • How Thayer realized her stories weren’t working as well as they should and did something about it.
  • Why it took courage for her to get to the heart of her story and how that courage paid off.
  • How her origin story became the foundational story for every speech and presentation.
