Dawn Fraser blew my mind on today’s episode and I know you’ll feel the same way after listening. Because we’re not just talking about “how to be a better speaker” or “how to build a speaking business,” we’re talking about storytelling . The art of a story...of your story ...and how infusing your marketing, your website, your talks and your conversations with YOUR STORY is a seriously powerful way to grow your business. Why? Because sharing our stories gives us an opportunity to deepen CONNECTION. And it’s that connection that drives the “know, love and trust” factor through the roof! And it won’t take you very long to see why Dawn is such a genius at storytelling. She’s been teaching and coaching others on the power of storytelling for a long time, works with The Moth, has a show and upcoming podcast Barbershop Stories , has given a tremendous TED talk and works with so many entrepreneurs who want to better infuse storytelling into their business so they can have better results. During our conversation, Dawn walks us through the actual elements of a great story (the 5 beats or narrative arc), which will immediately make you think of your favorite movie and how well they followed this formula! And we also get into being vulnerable...what questions to ask yourself when you know you want to share stories about yourself but don’t quite know if you should or how you should. I even share about a super low moment I had in my business as a great example of how and when to share vulnerably! This episode itself has a beautiful narrative arc to it AND will give you practical steps to start infusing your own story into your business immediately!

In Episode #21, Natalie has Special Guest, Dawn Fraser. Dawn J. Fraser is a storyteller, educator and nationally acclaimed speaker based out of New York City. She is the Creator and Host of the storytelling show and podcast called 'Barbershop Stories', and is a Lead Instructor at The Moth. Dawn and Natalie met when they were looking at building out their podcasts and getting more ingrained in the Brooklyn creative and arts community with Bric. They focus on talking about stories; everything we do day to day is focused on the stories we tell ourselves, and then how we operate in the world and what we tell others about who we are. How well do you communicate that? Are you open? Are you authentic? Telling your proper story and understanding what your story means can help you uncover and define what your purpose is, so storytelling really is an imperative skill in life and in business. Here is a great quote that shares more around what this episode is about: "The greater part of human pain is unnecessary. It is self-created as long as the unobserved mind runs your life." ~Eckhart Tolle We can self-create pain in the stories we continue to tell ourselves and that then reflects how we show up in the world.
