February 20, 2023 What can you learn from my failed job interview?
I blew a massive promotion opportunity by using ‘we’ instead of ‘I’ at the interview because I felt I wasn’t good enough to claim my successes Ias my own. At just 23 I had experienced my first professional bout of imposter syndrome. And it didn’t feel good.
Two decades later, I see small business owners, especially female ones, making the same mistake. And I get it. You want to be taken seriously. You want others to think you’re running a “proper” businesses. Can you really do this all by yourself? YES YOU CAN!
I share why saying ‘I’ when your brand is just you is an empowering and powerful action which also helps you build connection and trust with your audience.

February 15, 2023 Stop telling your life story and tell your customers’ story instead.
The most effective stories are those that your customers can see themselves in. Like a mirror being held up. Yes, you might be sharing your experiences, your learnings, your fears but, and here’s the key to great storytelling, you want your customers to feel actually, its all about them.
It’s really the difference between why some stories convert to sales and others, well, don’t.
Today I share an exercise in making sure your story tells your customers’ story too.
Grab a pen and draw three columns. In the first write down a list of the challenges/problems that led you to do what you do now. In the second column write down what you did to overcome each of them. And finally in the third, write down how that experience helps you lead your customers through similar challenges.
For every challenge, solution and experience, there’s a powerful story right there waiting to be told.

February 09, 2023Look into my crystal ball... How to use storytelling to create a better future.
Fortune telling may not be an obvious marketing too but when you’re trying to show customers why they should buy from you, there’s one trick in the book worth trying.
In this episode I show you how to get creative with your storytelling by sharing a vision of the future - what life could look like for your ideal clients if they bought into what you do.
And I share 3 tips to get you started:
Think about what’s really important to your customer; what are they trying to achieve, what do they value, do they align themselves to a specific cause, what does success look or feel like for them? Quick hack - if you don’t know the answers, ask them! It’s a great way for them to feel you’re interested them and a reason to engage.

Understand what might be getting in your customer’s way - what challenges do they have, what might have happened in the past which is a barrier for them now?

Think about the difference you can make; how do you help them achieve their mission, overcome barriers or solve their problem?

Creating your own brand story doesn’t just sit exclusively with business owners.
If you’re employed by an organisation not run by you, getting your story straight can really help you as your progress your career, build relationships with colleagues or customers and lead successful teams.
Here are some questions to get you thinking about your story:
What motivates you to do your job?

What are your guiding principles when you make decisions in your job?

February 06, 2023 The case of the invisible egg machine (and the storytelling lesson we can learn from it)
We all have stories that are so ingrained in our minds we believe them to be true. Sometimes, even though we understand logically they’re probably made up, we continue to believe them as they’re a source of comfort or joy.
But what about the stories that aren’t helpful? The stories that are actually an uncomfortable source of negative emotions. Surely if we can embellish stories because they make us feel good, then we can take away the things that exist to do the exact opposite.
In this episode I explore how to re-think your negative stories for a more positive outcome.
