In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I\u2019ve realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don\u2019t realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they\u2019re sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don\u2019t Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana. Be sure to check out the Storytelling For Professionals Course as well to make sure you nail that next interview!
