How Stories Happen

Today, experts, consultants, and others who share advice content and thought leadership concepts need to embrace a tough truth. Our guest is the perfect person to help me deliver it. 

Erin Halper is the founder of the community business for independent consultants, The Upside. In our episode, we talk about vulnerability in storytelling and how to navigate it well, and we look at a signature story of hers that she uses everywhere but which she debated NOT using for a long time. You'll hear why, and you'll walk away with some ideas to apply to your own communication to have a greater impact. 

As Erin says, everyone has a version of the story she tells, even though all the details are different. And that's why it's so effective. Understanding that one concept can transform how deeply you resonate wherever you show up to write or speak.
