23. Your Storytelling Superpower
Your storytelling superpowers are all the things that make you different from everyone else. They are your heart and soul and emotion, your quirky sense of humor and sparkling personality. Your superpowers come across in the way you present yourself as much as what you present. They are the most intimate and outrageous parts of you that you are willing to reveal to an audience.
Add to those superpowers your stories and content and you have something powerful to offer. And yet, standing up and standing out also makes you a target for those who don't like what you have to say and offer. How do you balance your need to be liked and accepted with your desire to speak up and be different?
Let's talk about that.
