E. 23: Telling Stories That Change Lives and Harnessing The Unstoppable Power Of The Spotlight with Melanie Gow
Imagine this—you’re on the TEDx stage, sharing your powerful message with the world...
What would your story be about?
What would you say? What would your life look like up until that point where you could draw on all your incredible life experiences to empower and inspire others?
Right now, this might feel a little fuzzy.
You might not know exactly what you would want to say. And that’s OK! You’d be amazed at how setting a goal to commit to getting on stage—whether in the next six months or the next 6 years—can ignite you from within.
Being seen as a leader on stage—delivering your powerful story—can change the trajectory of your life, both personally and professionally.
Today, I’m delighted to talk with Melanie Gow. In some worlds, she’s known as a Story Strategist and TEDx Coach—but, in her world, Melanie believes that she makes Legends. Melanie connects people to their boldest message, so that they can harness the unstoppable power of the spotlight.
Melanie is an ex filmmaker, published author, and crowd-funded publisher, best known for walking her two sons 800km over the Pyrenees and across Spain for 33 days, when they were 12 and 16.
And, yes, she gave a TEDx talk about it.
