Storytelling Marketing is one of the best ways to connect more deeply with your dream clients and build meaningful connections to your work as a service-based solopreneur and my friend Brook is SO great at doing this.

We met via B School many, many years ago when I lived in Sydney and was just starting out in business and I always appreciated Brook’s no b.s approach to business and the stories she would tell to give meaning to an intangible service like coaching.

In this episode, we chat about:

• How Brook does business coaching differently and what keeps her going
• Something in MY marketing that provoked Brook
• Brook’s thoughts on how to find the right business coach for you
• The way that storytelling in your marketing builds relationships and helps make an intangible service feel real
• And so much more!

TIMESTAMPS FOR THE EPISODE:

[00:00:00] Introverted and sensitive entrepreneurs find success online.

[00:03:40] So many things, motivating by bad examples.

[00:10:37] Power imbalance: Coaches, clients, boundaries, responsibility.

[00:21:34] Online behaviour tolerated more than in-person. Social media’s impact on mood. Trusting intuition in business through social media. Impersonal nature of social media.

[00:26:25] Authenticity trumps fitting in; be yourself.
