189 - Lead With Confidence! with Johanna Walker

Stories are the cornerstone of civilization.  They are how we transmit norms, teach and let others know they are not alone.  However, sharing YOUR story can sometimes seem daunting...even impossible if you're worried about sharing too much.  But, sharing your story is a critical piece of taking charge of your life! On this episode, I talk with storytelling maven, Johanna Walker.  She shares the power of sharing your story and how you can make a difference...at work and in life.  It was a great conversation that left me thinking about what I can do different in sharing my story with those around me.  Check it out!
