Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Hey, there you’re Phenomenal, My name is Michelle Alexander I am the Founder and Managing director of AKA Life Coaching: Transformational life Coaching, Family support and Early intervention service for women. Welcome to November/ December words of wisdom. This month we will be talking about the importance and benefits of telling your story.

Humans have a remarkable capacity to bounce back after problems and are incredibly resilient. What is even more impressive, we might be missing out on people reaching their full potential by not telling our stories.

Approximately 70 per cent of what we learn is through stories which makes perfect sense. Think back to times when we may have been around a camp fire telling stories with the community.

The brain is hard-wired for narrative so we can make sense of the world and our lives. Telling our story helps us to connect with our audience.

Over the past year i have been on a number of training programmes and webinars. What has become more and more evident is the important of telling your story. I have been luck enough to have meet many guest speakers that have successful business, Millionaires and billionaires and have been touched by their story walts and all.

It dawn on me that when people disclose their stories every things feel’s more achievable.

Telling your story - with all its challenges, mistakes, failures, pain, setbacks as well as its joys, successes and victories - says something about what it means to be human. Telling your story can even inspire others to take the first step on their path to becoming a public speaker!
