105: How to Help Others Tell Your Story
Sure, you can tell your story. But what happens when you're not in the room? Are people sharing a story about you that doesn’t quite fit? I bet you can see it now. There’s someone who believes in you. They love what you create. They want to advocate for you. But when the moment comes to share your story? They fumble. They either say nothing… or say the wrong thing. Now you’re getting opportunities that sound nothing like you—or worse, no opportunities at all. Yikes! In this episode, I show you how to fix that. I walk you through how to equip your biggest fans to tell your story in the right way, to the right people, in the right rooms. The key? A simple tool called the ABT Framework (And, But, Therefore)—which I first learned from Park Howell back in Episode 101. When you use it well, your personal brand doesn’t just sit quietly waiting for the next introduction—it starts working for you, everywhere. 🔑 In This Episode, You’ll Learn: Why it’s not enough to just tell your own story The real risk of letting others freestyle your narrative How to use the ABT Framework to shape your personal brand story A practical four-question exercise to map your story clearly The power of helping others find opportunities on your behalf In the end, you’ll learn how to make your story travel to places you haven’t been and get the right opportunities back to you.
