In this episode, I speak with Story Coach and storyteller, Jilliane Yawney. Jilliane shares her story about how a road trip with a stop in Detroit, Michigan changed the trajectory of her life and instilled in her a love for storytelling.
Jilliane explains what it takes to be an excellent storyteller—but possibly more importantly—she provides insight on why we need to tell our stories. Finally, for those of you wondering, Do I even have a story to tell? Yes, you do.
Listen to find out more about the power of your own story.
