In this episode, I am sharing some thoughts from a previous masterclass on how to share a story authentically and what authentic storytelling is. When it comes to sharing a story, writing a book, or even building an online brand it comes from who you are as a person, what you have walked through and knowing that you are your brand. It’s important to learn how to share it authentically. 

 

In today’s episode we discuss:

1) Start with discovering your authentic story.  What makes you unique, what experiences, stories, emotions and lessons have you learned that have shaped you into the person you are today.  What moments have defined you?  What values and beliefs do you hold true to your core and how can you share that and embrace vulnerability in an open and genuine way. 2) Cultivating authenticity in the world of social media. This starts with embracing your uniqueness, expressing your true self, your quirks, passions and authentic voice,  this is how you attract an audience that resonates with your true essence.  This requires you to be transparent, honest and open about your journey, and showing the imperfections. This also requires healthy boundaries, and regular check in’s with yourself. 2) Storytelling is an art, it carries a lot of immense power, personal power to inspire, connect and create change and it is important that we maintain the integrity of the narratives that we share. Integrity also means being mindful of the responsibility of our stories and to use our stories as a force for positive change, shedding light on important topics.
