As the author of your story, you get to reframe those self-sabotaging stories so that you can control your narrative and tell new stories that connect people to you and communicate your value, your expertise, your leadership, and your brand promise.

Whether you’re interviewing for a new role, or leaning into a promotion—stories induce the listener to feel something, and to make a decision about you with their heads and their hearts.

But what if the Great Pandemic Pause—all this adversity—is presenting us with a yes-and instead of a yes-but opportunity?

Maybe you’ve noticed this trend in the news, social media, and workplace: that it’s time for us to stop conforming to the dominant culture (read “white, male”) and get the culture to conform to us. Well, part of not conforming is not apologizing for who and what we are. So how do we do that?

“So how did you end up at XYZ company?” and you make your way through that story. And then she asks you, “What experiences in life built you into the human being you are today?”

Making a career leap that’s a huge departure from your experience and education? Get your transition story down.

Bottom line, it’s all about you, your career story, controlling your narrative, and rising up.

Our lively and timely conversations are all about powering up people who are on the edge. The edge of action, the edge of complicity, the edge of giving up. And we offer them the fuel to get clear, get heard, get included, and take action to make a positive impact in this world.
