In today’s show, I’m bringing you an audio replay of the Idea to Impact Workshop I delivered back in June. Now a number of you attended, so for some of you, this may be a nice refresher to check in and see if you’ve made any progress since the workshop took place.

It was such a fun experience to connect with the women on the call, and to hear their questions and comments live in the moment.

So in this workshop, we get our feet wet in the Idea Waterfall and discuss how to strategically move from idea to impact.

I’m also excited to share that there’s a free downloadable Idea to Impact Workbook You can download to help you with this process. Click on the link below to download now.

And hey -- if you’ve been sitting on a great idea lately and you’re looking to launch it into the universe, then be sure to listen in to this full 1-hour episode. And remember, if you need a coach to walk by your side, keep you accountable and act as a sounding board, then I’m here to help. Reach out to me at [email protected] or click on the link below to find out how we can book a 1-hour strategy session and get YOUR idea into motion.

For now, I hope you enjoy today’s live workshop recording. Are you ready for it? Alright, it’s time to get moving from “Idea to Impact”.

 Welcome back to the Power Your Platform Summer Recast Series! This summer is a busy one for me since I’ve just made the BIG move from one city to another and right now I’m pretty much living out of boxes. So instead of recording brand new podcasts in July and August, I’ll be sharing the replay or recasting of some of our most popular podcast episodes.

Today, I’m sharing a replay of Episode 11 which answers the question: “What’s a Purpose Driven Platform?”

I hope you enjoy this episode as we dive into the 3 main platforms I recommend to my clients who are looking to make an impact with their main message.

It’s our 100th episode – which is totally surreal. But here we are, and of course, I couldn’t let the opportunity pass by to celebrate this major milestone. Because you know me – I love to celebrate.

In today’s episode, I want to provide you with a bit of a wrap-up of Season 1, including a number of messages from our podcast listeners and clients. I also want to let you know what’s coming up next – because there’s lots more ahead.

As some of you may know, the very episode of the Power Your Platform Podcast aired on August 4, 2021. So in less than year, we’ve recorded not only 100 episodes, but a dozen or so bonus episodes as well.

And what a journey it’s been! Most of the time, I’ve been here -- inside my office which doubles as my podcast studio. And at least at the beginning, I wondered, “Is anyone out there even listening?” When I first started recording the podcast, it was definitely just my friends and family who were tuning in. And for that, I’m extremely grateful. Because it kept me going and helped motivate me through those quiet, early months.

But over time, this podcast has attracted a wide range of listeners from all backgrounds and industries with a variety of skills, stories and expertise to share.

And one of the things I’ve enjoyed most about podcasting is the opportunity to get to know you, my listening audience.

So today, I thought I’d share with you a few audio messages that we began to receive when word got out that we were about to publish our 100th episode.

Thanks to Jeanette Arsenault of JAMS Canada, Kaoru Miller of Cha Cha Tea Shop, Tammy Watson of Canadian Handywoman, Ophelia Rigault and Jaspreet Bhandal of Yoga with Jas for sharing their 100th episode messages today on the Power Your Platform Podcast.

What’s next for the Power Your Platform Podcast? I’m excited to share that a brand new season of the Power Your Platform Podcast will launch this fall, and I’m going to spend the summer really thinking about the direction for that season, along with the guests who would be the best fit to add value to YOUR story journey.

Between now and September, we’re launching a new Summer Recast Series next week featuring some of this podcast’s most popular shows. 

Stay tuned for lots more to come!

Today I’m excited to share with you a conversation with one of my very own Story Coaching Clients. Ardyth Correia is a teacher and certified health and life coach who works with moms of children with ADHD. 

In today’s interview, Ardyth speaks about why she decided to reach out to me as a Story Coach and the benefits she has found from being engaged with the concepts of Story Coaching. 

I think you’re going to love getting to know Ardyth today. She is passionate about what she does, and what’s more, she is focused on an amazing audience of women who need to hear the story she has to share. 

Because, as we discuss in today’s episode, we’re constantly being nudged in the direction of the people we’re here to serve. We just need to pay attention to the signs.

I hope that today’s interview with Ardyth Correia reminds you once again about the importance of sharing your own story. 

Here are my Top 10 Takeaways from today’s interview with Ardyth. 

1. Know what you have in common with your core audience and share the stories that connect you. 

2. Reflecting on your own story path and the emotions, experiences and skills you’ve developed along the way, is key to building a receptive audience. 

3. A story coach can help you get clear on your own story, get your idea off the ground, and build momentum as you move forward. 

4. When you clearly tell people who you serve and how you serve them, it can make you more referable and help you make more strategic decisions along the way. 

5. It’s human nature to want to work with people we have things in common with; so don’t be shy about sharing who you are and what lights you up. 

6. Our differences are what make us unique; so don’t hide them. Celebrate them! 

7. The uniqueness of our own story is what sets us apart in the marketplace. Getting clear on our story can help us stand out from the crowd. 

8. Forming a community by bringing people together around a topic or solution can be one of the most powerful parts of building a brand. 

9. We’re all given one brain and one body in our lifetime, and if we pay attention to what makes us tick, we can ALL learn strategies for moving forward. 

10. Embracing the concept of progress over perfection can help us find momentum, and give us permission to keep showing up imperfectly in an imperfect world.

In case we haven’t met, I’m Kerry Ramsay, a Story Coach who has helped hundreds of women leaders, speakers and entrepreneurs build their brand story over the years. PLUS I’m also a reluctant teller of my own personal stories. Yes, that’s right. This Story Coach had to be convinced to tell her own story once upon a time. And inside today’s episode, I’m telling you why.

So listen in to today’s episode to find out how a Master’s Degree in Storytelling held me back from sharing my own story – and how I finally got courage to do it.

Having been trained as a journalist, I was always taught to adopt a third-person approach to storytelling. In journalism, we were always taught to be objective observers of the story, and not to become a part of the story ourselves. Because when we did, we would lose our objectivity.

So in essence, I was trained NOT to tell my own story. And since I was always a good student, I followed the rules. And it made me really good at what I did as a writer and a journalist. But it was a barrier when it came to weaving my own story into my future business ventures.

Because let’s face it: our clients and customers want to know who the person is that’s behind the brand. It’s why my story coaching service exists in the first place. Because our story is the bridge that can connect us to the audiences we’re trying to reach. And it can not only boost our brand visibility, but it can create brand loyalty as well.

But even though I knew and recognized the value of personal storytelling in business, I was really reluctant to share bits and pieces of my own story at first, because of my background and training as a journalist.

But over time, I came to embrace 3 key concepts that help remind me of the importance of my own story in relation to the people I’m serving:

1. Your story tells people why you do what you do.

2. Your story tells people what makes you different.

3. Your story tells people how you can help them.

And by the way, if you’re looking for a coach to help you tell your own authentic story, don’t hesitate to reach out to me today! Because sometimes it takes someone who’s standing outside of our own story to help you identify the pieces that can create a meaningful and memorable connection with your core audience.

Let’s get your story started today!
