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
