An invitation to learn how to tell your story
“Katherine, are you still coaching executives?” I haven’t seen my son’s fifth grade teacher for years but I stop walking so she can catch up to me.
“Yeah actually people come to me to help them tell their story,” and I add, “It’s called story coaching.”
“Oh that’s right,” she says, “you help people become.” Her brown eyes twinkle as I pause, expecting her to finish her sentence. But that was it. She doesn’t say another word.
She stands there smiling and holding what looks like a to-go glass of wine as I take the cue to respond and exclaim, “Oh you totally get it.” In that single second I forget that she may not want me to give her a hug. But I throw my arms around her and she hugs right back. We catch up for a few more minutes and I walk away bursting with joy. Feeling seen is a gratifying feeling, even from your son’s teacher, maybe even especially because it’s his teacher.
So yeah, I’ve been helping people become. My whole career has been devoted to this simple fact. I’ve spent a lot of time working on becoming more of myself, too.
And that’s why I’m glad you’re here. I have a gift I’d like to share with you. It’s a guide called Embrace Your Story, A Practical Guide for Sharing What’s Inside
I’ve learned countless lessons /through my decades of my work with people just like you and me/ that a profound, effective, life-changing way to become more of the person you’re meant to become is to share what’s inside: your story.
We all know to get stronger we need to hit the weights or the hills. Many of us find a trainer to safely and effectively help us put in the reps that set us up for stronger results. We pay for their expertise but we also pay for the accountability. We are investing in our health. We are investing in ourselves.
And while I know everything you need to tell your story is already inside of you, it sure helps to have some guidance.
I created this guide called Embrace Your Story, A Practical Guide for Sharing What’s Inside because some of us want to go to the gym alone. I totally get it! I like to think of my story-sharing framework as guardrails that give you a little more courage to go deeper.
Telling your story isn’t always about having the right words or knowing exactly what to say. It’s about trusting that what’s inside holds the key to letting yourself be seen. Inside this Guide is a simple way for you to be more open, more real, more of who you are and who you are becoming.
Sharing your story is a muscle that can be built over time.
Remember: It’s the smaller acts of vulnerability and risk-taking that lead to the bigger ones.
I love the quote “People can only meet you with the depth to which you’ve met yourself.”
These are powerful skills I learned helping people to connect with yourselves so that you can find the words to connect with others.
I look forward to connecting with you when the moment is right. And I may just have to give you a big hug, too!
