Client Confidential: Answering the Tough Questions
Get ready for a different kind of episode! As a speaking strategist, I’ve had the opportunity to work with people all over the globe in just about every industry you can imagine. What’s fascinating is there are certain questions they all ask, no matter what their professional background is. Therefore, this week I’m doing something I’m calling, “Client Confidential”-- tackling those tough questions so you can benefit from knowing the answers too. In this action-packed episode, you’ll hear my insights, strategies, and tactics you can put to use immediately as we look at topics such as finding ideas, selecting lessons to teach and stories to tell for your talk, inspiring people to take action, becoming more disciplined, leaving an impression, and earning a speaking invitation.
Here’s just a taste of what you’ll learn in this episode:
- How to unlock your creativity and ideas
- Why stories of struggle can be gold
- How visibility attracts speaking invitations
A little about me:
Hi there. I’m Kymberlee.
As a Speaking Strategist and founder of Storytelling School, I’ve had the pleasure of working with over 300 speakers, business leaders, and entrepreneurs worldwide for over a decade. No matter if those folks were getting ready to take the TED or TEDx stage or preparing for a high-stakes presentation with everything on the line, my specialty is High Stakes Short Form Communication. I’ve seen what works when influencing change and what doesn’t and it turns out storytelling is one of the most powerful tools you can have in your arsenal. That’s why I’m building a movement of master storytellers to affect change in the world on a global scale to help people tell real stories that have influence and impact. With effective storytelling, you change people’s lives.
Since competition for potential client attention is fierce, a story can make the difference between being memorable or irrelevant. You’ll find me sharing my matcha tea mishap to discuss perfectionism, my quest for Bruce Lee and Hello Kitty art to explore kindness, or the six months of live blade training I underwent to illustrate presence. I spend my days showing the power of using stories to help cement ideas and bring lessons to life and teaching my clients to do the same.
If you think business owners can’t tell stories or don’t have stories to share with their clients, staff, donors, followers, or investors, I invite you to reconsider your perspective. There’s no better place than in business to tell your stories so audiences, no matter how big or small, can understand how you think and what you value.
Now it’s your turn... If you’re ready to become a master storyteller and affect change in our world, you’ve come to the right place.
