In this episode of Small Business Connections, Ann talks about the power of stories and how you can powerfully tell your story with Melanie Gow, the Legend Maker and founder of Awaken the Legend Within. Melanie helps people awaken the legend within and learn the keys to telling their story impactfully.
As a story strategist, Melanie shares that we all have a story worth sharing and she can show you how. Harnessing the power of storytelling is an ancient art and a teachable skill. Storytelling holds emotion and emotions are universal. Communicating your story and making a connection with others is like magic. Melanie breaks down the structure of the story and dives deep into the four natural storytelling powers- to heal, to inspire, leadership and foretell.
Melanie shares the secret to storytelling and that the dots on the page become books and stories with power. She loves helping people find their story and condense their story to become their fifteen minute keynote. Once learned, you can keep going and share your authenticity by telling your story.
