"My story isn't interesting enough" (the #1 myth keeping you off stages)
You've watched someone on stage share a moment from their life and you can feel the the room draw into the story.
And then you've thought about your own experiences and decided they're not interesting enough and not worth people's time.
So you either skip the story entirely and jump straight to the advice, or you rush through it so fast that no one feels a thing.
Here's what I've learned from delivering 100+ international keynotes and coaching women through my BRAVE on Stage speaking accelerator: the most memorable talks are built on ordinary moments told with extraordinary specificity - not the most interesting story.
The difference between a talk people sit through and a talk people remember comes down to one skill: knowing how to turn a summary into a scene.
In this live session, I'll show you exactly how that works.
We'll cover:
→ Why the stories you think are too boring or too small are actually your most powerful material
→ The difference between a summary and a scene where I'll show you a real before and after so you can see the transformation for yourself
→ Three specific moves that make any story land: how to put your audience in the room, let them hear what was said, and take them inside your head
→ How to be specific without oversharing especially if vulnerability doesn't come naturally or if the story still feels raw
I'll also be answering questions live, so if you've got a story you've been sitting on or a talk you're building, bring your questions with you.
THIS IS FOR YOU IF:
→ You have expertise or experience worth sharing but it comes out flat when you try to talk about it
→ You've been told "just be yourself on stage" and thought "...but how?"
→ You want to build a talk but you don't think your story is interesting enough
→ You're tired of watching other people captivate a room and wondering what they know that you don't
