Telling a story well sparks action in both the physical and emotional sense - driving others to become more motivated, believe in themselves, or try something new. In this episode of the Raise 1000 Voices podcast, we reveal the power of compelling storytelling with Zara Love.
Zara is the Director of Great Talk, helping people become more charismatic presenters, confident communicators, and captivating storytellers. Furthermore, she works with professional speakers, thought leaders, tech wizzes, and influencers by helping them shape, share, and deliver an engaging message in a more powerful way.
In Zara’s work, Storytelling is never about the person sharing the story, rather, it’s about having the opportunity to take others on a magnificent adventure. One that helps them develop a different perspective in their lives.
The truth is most people find it difficult to share their own stories, especially women. The inner critic can be so powerful that it drowns out every chance to speak powerfully. And this greatly impacts the ability to trust ourselves and bring our voice to the world.
Learning how to dance with the inner critic allows you to take your audience into a remarkable story. Great stories share insights and generate life-changing experiences for both the storyteller and the listener. Learn more about how powerful storytelling can be and how it impacts your life and others when you listen to the episode.
