146 - How Personal Is Too Personal
Manage episode 477241129 series 2835475
How do you balance building rapport by sharing personal stories but not getting ‘too personal’ with your audience?
That’s the topic of this episode where I talk about the distinction between authenticity and over-sharing, why connecting personally IS important to effectively share your information and how you can find balance you’re comfortable with.
Listen in to hear:
How authenticity and vulnerability are NOT the same thing
How you can share your stories and avoid misery, rags to riches and rising from the ashes stories
How to balance sharing personal stories without oversharing
Why your stories help to share valuable insights, that are way more valuable than just raw information
How to change the gradient, or the depth of your stories, based on how familiar your audience is with you
Do you want to make a bigger impact in your world but your words let you down? Perhaps you ramble, talk too fast, think out loud or go down all.the.rabbit.holes?
