June 26, 2023How to share stories that break down barriers.
Using business stories as a tool to break down barriers with your audience can be a powerful way to connect on a deeper level and foster meaningful relationships, especially when you are a new entity to them. Here are some ways you can use business stories for this purpose.
Authenticity is the foundation of building trust. By being open and vulnerable, sharing genuine stories that reflect your values, experiences, and challenges, you create an atmosphere of authenticity that resonates with your audience and encourages them to relate to your journey.

Find common ground with your audience by identifying shared experiences or challenges. Craft stories that highlight these shared experiences, demonstrating that you understand their perspective. When your audience sees themselves reflected in your stories, it creates a sense of familiarity and breaks down the barriers between you.

Encourage feedback, comments, and dialogue around your stories. Actively respond and engage with your audience, showing that you value their input and perspectives.

Understand the pain points and challenges faced by your audience, and incorporate stories that address these issues. Share how your business or products have helped overcome these obstacles and made a positive impact. By showing empathy and offering solutions, you build credibility and establish a bond with your audience.

Break down barriers by using your business stories as a means of education. Share stories that inform and enlighten your audience about topics relevant to your industry or niche. This not only positions you as an authority but also demonstrates your willingness to share valuable knowledge and insights.

Create opportunities for your audience to share their stories with you and with each other to foster a sense of community. Actively encourage and showcase user-generated stories, testimonials, and reviews.

June 21, 2023Jargon buster. Title: Unraveling the Difference: Purpose, Vision, Mission, and Values
Having a clear brand story is a really helpful foundation for your business to establish a sense of direction, make purposeful decisions and help your customers audience understand exactly what you’re hear for. But, what does it all really mean. And what on earth is the difference between purpose, mission and vision?
Purpose - the reason your exist and what motivates you.

Vision - a compelling and aspirational statement that paints a vivid picture of what future success looks like for you and provides inspiration and direction.

Mission - the specific actions and strategies you undertake to fulfil your purpose and achieve your vision.

Values - the guiding principles that shape how you behave, the decisions you make and, as you grow and take on staff, the culture of your business.

June 20, 2023Don’t fall into the trap of virtual signalling when telling your business stories.
Virtue signalling - superficial displays of virtue and value, does absolutely nothing when it comes to maintaining authenticity and building trust with your audience. I would go as far to say, it can actually be pretty damaging to your brand too. But it’s not always easy to know when you’re doing it, especially if there something happening in the world that everyone seems to be commenting on (think Black Lives Matter, International Women’s Day, Pride month etc)

In order to make sure you don’t fall into the tap, I share some tips to help you think about your messaging and stay authentic to what you believe in.
Be genuine

Focus on action, not just words

Focus efforts on providing value to your audience

Promote inclusivity and diversity

Be transparent

Engage in meaningful chat

Avoid overusing buzzwords and trends

Back up your claims.
