Episode 69: The Power of Your Story – With Lisa McInnes-Smith


Listen Later

Do you feel like your story doesn’t matter? What if I told you, your story could be the one thing holding you back from the growth in your business you have been working hard for…

In this podcast, I interviewed not only a very special guest but also a very special friend and downright amazing human being Lisa McInnes-Smith. Lisa is a well-renowned international speaker, a best-selling author is here to tell you that everyone’s story matters. This beautiful woman is a best-selling author and has presented to over 2 million people across 26 different countries to talk about the power of storytelling in your business. 

It’s not necessarily the big things, and it’s not always the spectacular moments that find their way into people’s hearts. Sometimes, it’s just as simple as having the confidence to share a little more of yourself. In this episode, Lisa and I chat about the power of stories and she gives some valuable advice to help you to better share yours to have a greater impact and build greater connections.
