#045: The Power of Your Story with Susan Payton
Creating connection through story.
There’s something potent about the power of story. Even as small children we appreciate the power and magic of being transported to another world, through even the simplest of storytelling, and yet when the story we most need to tell is our own, it can be really hard to find the words.
Susan’s mission began with doing just that. In this episode she tells how, having faced up to the painful reality that nothing was working, she completely transformed her business (and her life!) simply by finding the words and the courage to tell her own story.
In this inspirational conversation, story strategist Susan Payton describes how, having leaned into her vulnerability, she started to create powerful connections as people related to the stories she shared.
Now she helps other business owners to harness the power of their stories too.
This episode is for anyone who wants to increase their impact and communicate their message with confidence and clarity.
