After 15 years as a youth pastor, actor, and public speaker, Alex has always been a gifted “professional storyteller.” Today, Alex has transferred his rich history in telling great stories into a career as a storytelling coach. He helps you stand out with your story. 

We each have an important story that can change the world. This episode is an enlightening look into the lost art of storytelling, what makes a good story, what stops us from sharing, and why we play quiet and small. 

We chat about what happens when you’re shifting into a new identity, especially giving up a position or role that you previously embraced. Trusting and having confidence in what’s right for you, making choices even if you can’t see the path ahead. We discuss how our loved ones shape and influence our story, and Alex shares the words from his mother that changed his life. 

Stories have the power to change lives and impact the world. Your story matters! Take this opportunity to reflect on how you’ve been showing up through all your life chapters, uncover your values, and discover the inherent power behind your story.  

You have a choice to show up, claim your place, and own your story.  Listen to this conversation with Alex to see why and how your story can – and will – shape the world. 

In this episode you will learn: 

• What keeps us from sharing our story 
• Why we’re afraid to declare something isn’t for us anymore 
• The difference between mistakes and lessons learned 
• How to figure out your values 
• The lost art of storytelling; the difference between sharing and “broadcasting” vs telling a story 
• What makes a good story?
