Hello to you listening in Helena, Montana!

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga.

Recently Sarah Elkins of Elkins Consulting asked me a question on her podcast: would you share a story about a client who came to you with an Origin Story challenge and how you solved it based on the process you’ve developed.

Challenge: My client was launching her consultancy business providing corporate managers with solutions for creating sustainable positive change in the workplace; but she felt she had no clear story to share about what she was offering and why.

Solution: We spent several weeks on an archeological dig of her life to uncover clues in her memories, experiences, values, education, ideas, and achievements. The archeological dig is the place where all the hidden treasures are found to manifest the Origin Story. It was an “ah ha!” moment for my client when she stepped into her power and confidently created her Origin Story that embraced her Who, her Why and her How - in her own words, her own voice.

Process: Your Who + Your Why + Your How => Your Origin Story - the story of how you got from There to Here as well as the roadmap for how you’ll get from Here to There.

Your Who: Who am I? What are my values, character traits, ideals, voice, purpose, and so on?

Your Why: What’s my Why? What’s the work I offer, who’s it for, what’s it for, and why does it matter?

Your How: What’s my How? How do I do my work in a way that is uniquely mine, that sets me apart and above all the rest?

Question: Why is this step-by-step process key to creating a robustly authentic Origin Story? Because until we know Who we are we cannot understand our Why; and until we know our Why we cannot understand our How. It works together in a orderly process.

Benefit: What did my client gain apart from a deep understanding of herself? A successfully solid Origin Story for her About page, marketing, branding, and keynote material, communication strategies, engaging story examples, and most importantly the power of her voice to say what she means and mean what she says so she is heard and listened to.

CTA: If you’re curious about how you might benefit from gaining communication insight tools and skills for your Origin Story, let’s have a discovery chat. DM me on LinkedIn or e-mail me: info@quartermoonstoryarts.net.
