“Intimacy: Into me I see”
-The Love Guru
Your story and the words you share in your marketing, speaking, and selling are an intimate window into your influencer soul.
Your story sells and influences change because it has a direct connection to who you are - at the soul level.
In the age of marketing through social media, where your number of followers seems to be the only value, many female leaders are realizing that in order to have a successful business presence they have to sell from the heart and soul of their truth. I am one of these evolving leaders. And I know that in order to have a successful and sustainable business presence the path is through sharing your story to influence change.
You, yes you, can become real and authentic in your influence. I have spent many years coaching women to step forward confidently and lead her business from her story and to share her story in aligned spaces - speaking, books, blogs, podcasts, and even job interviews.
I know you can take down your emotional walls and begin to lead with your story. You already have all of the information inside of you, it is ready to be shared!
When you are intimate with your words and message and use your soul truth to influence change and sell, your story becomes a portal to being seen, understood, and valued. And your story is an amazing way for your business to attract the right clients who see you and realize that what you have to offer is valuable. This is an aligned client and she becomes a relationship rather than a commodity.
Once your aligned client sees herself in your story, intimately, you have created a trusted client.
An authentic and intimate story influences at a very deep level and is a sustainable influencer path that has holding power. A real and raw story creates long-term influence because it immediately affects your clients at a somatic level, in other words, it has depth of feeling.
A masked story or message is superficial and temporary. It is something that lacks depth and follow through. It does not stick, hold, or last in value.
So why is it so hard for women to share their story - struggles to triumph, trauma to healing, and pain to victory?
Most women are taught and conditioned as young women to turn off emotion, shut down the tears, and eliminate sensation. Even when we go through a trauma or pain we are taught to “be strong and put up a good front.” As we continue to do business and influence from this shut down position, we numb ourselves out and close ourselves off from powerful opportunities. We might be a “success”, but there is a world of opportunity waiting outside the shutdown zone we live from.
We think it is easier to share the superficial positive rather than feel the deep pain and struggle of our story. Although this is so far from the truth, the path of feminine flow and least resistance is in our story and feelings, we are also riddled with fear……
We fear being:
Judged Shamed Criticized Blamed Persecuted
These are real feelings to overcome and my exercise below will help!
You, an influencer, can change lives through your story and build a lifetime of trust-ers rather than superficial fans.Your story is the magic sauce to becoming a real and authentic influencer of change.
You can change lives, inspire healing, and influence deep and sustainable change.The world needs your story! If you are with me and you want to begin changing the world of business, let’s get real! Here is a foundational coaching formula I have used in my coaching practice for writing books, marketing content, podcasts, speaking, and for social media marketing.
It’s Magic in Your Message time!
Grab a journal! Let’s write your story. This is a soul contract, it will change you from the inside out and you will begin to feel stronger with this three step exercise. It speaks to the aligned client, and says “I am here!” And watch what appears. There is magic in this formula and it will open gateways of opportunity.
Start by sitting with a small candle, choose the color that aligns with your message. Some suggestions are white for spiritual downloads, yellow for power, red for financial or family, blue for communication, green for healing, purple for intuition, or orange for female sexuality. Choose from your intuition and feeling, there is no right or wrong. Remember this is your path and your story to share…so you choose!
Imagine on the other side of that candle is the aligned client you seek, a truster. Breathe deeply, feel her, she is there waiting for your story and message. I am today that I want to share? Write some of the details of the story as if you are speaking to the aligned client.
2. Describe the feelings and emotions inside of this story. Put some feeling into it and get as RAW as possible.
3. What was the lesson you learned and how did you grow, change, and evolve?
Allow the candle to burn to the bottom and as it goes out notice what you feel. Imagine the smoke is your story! It’s going out into the world now!!
