How to Use Storytelling to Talk About Yourself - EP084

Someone asking you to talk about yourself can be intimidating, but storytelling can help you out. Realize that what people are really asking for when they ask you to talk about yourself are the patterns of who you are. Finding those patterns comes down to a simple phrase: what’s true for you is what you do.

You can use the pieces of the Red Thread to look at your experiences and identify patterns. What are the Goals you’ve tried to achieve or help others achieve? What kinds of Problems are you drawn to solve? What Truths guide how you see the world and how you live your life?

The Change, in this case, is what you do about the answers to those first three questions. The Actions are the skill sets you’ve developed to achieve Goals and solve Problems. Organizing your experiences this way will help you understand the Whys, which makes it easier to talk about yourself with confidence.
