By the time we reach midlife we've been around the block a few times, learned some things, had experiences and surmounted obstacles. We have life stories that are not only important to us but have the ability to impact others. Stories have a magical way of helping us see ourselves—and the possibilities for our own lives—through the experiences of others.  In this episode, I'm thrilled to dive into the art and power of storytelling with Marsha Shandur, a Storytelling and Persuasive Communication Coach. We unpack how stories connect us on a deeply human level, the fascinating neurological impact storytelling has on our brains, and why vulnerability is the secret sauce to truly powerful narratives. Marsha shares practical insights on how storytelling fosters empathy and connection—whether in personal relationships or professional settings. And we also cover common storytelling missteps and how to avoid them. This conversation is a goldmine of tips and inspiration: How to turn “victim” stories into empowering “hero” stories. The role of emotion and action in crafting memorable stories. Why personal narratives are universal—and how they build confidence for both the teller and the listener. If you've ever doubted the value of your story, this episode will inspire you to embrace it as a tool for connection, empowerment, and transformation. ________ Marsha Shandur, of "Yes Yes Marsha", believes that Storytelling and Ethically Persuasive Communication skills are the keys to instant connection, clear, effective communication, and changing the world for the better.

London-born Marsha Shandur holds a superpower: the power of storytelling.  Marsha credits her love of storytelling to her late grandmother, whom she describes as unintentionally comedic. She regards her grandmother's last years as her grandmother's funniest years for her inadvertent mixing of fantasy and reality. Having been raised surrounded by stories, Marsha learned how to harness this talent and sought it out to achieve the power of persuasion, empathy, and connection.  In this episode, she walks us through what makes a good storyteller by coaching us on how to craft compelling stories and what our brain chemistry has to do with it. Marsha also explains how the universal catalyst for connection is stories, how to tell a great story, and the three essential parts to storytelling: voice over, montage, and action scenes.  She now runs Toronto's biggest storytelling show, True Stories (Told Live), and offers workshops to help you improve your storytelling on her site Yes Yes Marsha. Through her passion for storytelling, she has accumulated features in BBC, Forbes, and Mashable.  Learn More From Marsha: Website: https://www.yesyesmarsha.com/ Social Media: Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/yesyesmarsha Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/user/yesyesmarsha LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/yesyesmarsha/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/yesyesmarsha Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/yesyesmarsha/ Marsha's Secret Page for YOU: https://www.yesyesmarsha.com/insightout/ Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/bePatron?u=23010497) This is an encore episode and was originally published on December 21, 2020 Learn more about your ad choices.

Story is magic for creating connection. When you tell a story that shows the people you want to serve that you get what they are experiencing, have been there yourself (or helped another person go through it), and come out the other side, you are a beacon light for them.   This is why I call your Story of Transformation your Beacon Light Story.   The truth is, though, you've been through a lot of transformations. Any time you go from one place to another, weathering the difficulties along the way, growing and learning - you transform through the process.   Knowing how to choose the story that will serve your audience best is important.   In this episode, you'll learn: Examples of powerful stories of transformation from my own life, and my clients. Why story is so powerful as part of your thought leadership The basis of choosing your story of transformation, and how it all ties together Where story fits in your overall messaging The reason your story isn't really about you when you use it to serve   I hope this episode helps you focus in on the story you want to share as you step into bigger leadership with your message.   NOTE: Made for This collective membership is opening up again at the end of January! We've made some changes that I think make it an even more awesome decision. I hope you decide to join us!

It’s not educational, but you might learn something. It’s not musical, but, each show, we include a story-telling musician.   There’s no theme each month.

Done right, storytelling is a powerful and lucrative tool for your brand. But, done wrong, not only is it as useless as tits on a bull, you're likely to waste hundreds of hours and dollars without any return on your investment. So, what does this overused buzzword actually mean for you and your brand? Storytelling is one of my deepest passions and, as a descendent of the stolen generation, one of my inherited talents. Storytelling is a term that everybody interprets in their own way. As an indigenous person, the life lessons brought about in storytelling are essential for making sense of the world and more importantly to connect and teach about values, history, cultural beliefs, relationships and sacred events. Join me on today's episode of The Unhcared Leader as I talk about the power of storytelling to cultivate connection with Storytelling, Speaker and Communication Coach Marsha Shander.  Before launching her career as a Storyteller, Marsha spent 15 years working as a Radio DJ, where she gained a powerful understanding of how to tell stories in a way that fosters connection, trust, engagement and loyalty.  Featuring in Forbes, BBC and Mashable, Marsha's worked with hundreds of individuals and groups of executives, entrepreneurs and professionals across Canada, the US and the UK. She's presented keynotes at the World Domination Summit in Portland and is the host, organizer and Storytelling Coach for True Stories Toronto, the city's largest storytelling show (now online).

This was a fun interview and I felt a kinship of someone that has done deep work that has helped her fly higher. One of my favorite aspects of this interview is Marsha's willingness to open up and talk about her inner demons and how they affect her life. It's important that we are honest with what is going on in our lives, the good and the bad, so we can learn and help each other. 1:01 - Three things that Marsha is grateful for. 3:11 - Deepening your mindset practice. 5:10 - Tetris Effect. 8:02 - The flipside of acceptance. 11:30 - Unconscious bias. 13:10 - Where was she born. 13:49 - What was she like as a kid. 16:18 - What we think is cool in high school and what we think is cool as adults. 19:45 - Our inner dialogue. 21:59 - What do we do to quiet our inner beast. 26:20 - Bringing empathy to our inner beasts. 31:10 - Understanding how our beliefs determine our feelings. 34:02 - When we notice the little choices that we are making we can build self awareness. 37:25 - A mindset practice makes it easier to bounce back from a difficult situation. 38:15 - Micro-habits. 39:34 - Why does she have trouble celebrating the good things in her life. 44:58 - The importance of a quality ritual around an evening routine. 46:20 - Evening journal prompts that helps her with her mindset. 48:50 - Recourse from yesyesmarsha.com/gratefulmind. 49:54 - Notice what your inner beasts is saying to you.

If you're struggling to grow your audience on social media, the temptation is to keep trying more and more new marketing strategies.  But this can often leave you feeling overwhelmed and overworked. And when you're spreading yourself too thin - you can end up doing lots of things not very well - which can actually stunt your audience growth.  If this sounds familiar, you'll love this podcast episode on how to bust through an audience growth plateau.  In it, I show you how doing things differently (rather than doing more) can help you kickstart your audience growth. {Click on the player above to listen to the podcast episode and/or read on for a detailed overview. Scroll down to the bottom to read the show notes including all the links mentioned in this episode} 1. Focus on one platform  If you're struggling to build your audience on social media, it may be because you're spreading yourself too thin. Focusing on growing your audience on one social media platform means you can go deep on all the features of that platform - and experiment with different strategies - rather than ‘dabbling' with three or four.  This doesn't mean you can't post on other social media platforms at all; you can always repurpose some of the content from your main platform. But putting 90% of your efforts into one platform will almost certainly help you grow quicker.  For example, the Instagram expert Kat Coroy focuses her social media efforts solely on Instagram - which has allowed her to sell thousands of her online course Instagram Makeover.  The LinkedIn expert Helen Pritchard focuses solely on LinkedIn - allowing her to attract hundreds of students to her LinkedIn Bootcamp.  Love and London (an online resource for visitors to London) has over 100,000 subscribers to its YouTube channel. But while its founder Jess Dante has a presence on most social media platforms, her key focus is on Instagram - freeing her up to create high quality content and serve her existing clients. 2. Focus on engagement not numbers  When you're building an online audience, it's tempting to think it's all about the numbers. Which means focusing on building funnels and automating everything you can, right? Wrong.  Numbers are important (the average conversion rate for online sales is just 1-2% which means most people need a much bigger audience than they think). But what you actually need to build is relationships. So if you're focusing on building funnels and automation - over having real conversations with your prospective customers/clients - on social media and in your DMs if necessary - your audience growth will almost certainly plateau.  Building your audience is actually about building relationships. And you build this relationship one at a time. 3. Share more personal content  People like to do business with people they like. So if you're hiding away behind your laptop - or in your studio - you're missing out on the chance to build relationships with prospective (and existing) customers.  This isn't about sharing your personal secrets - or airing your dirty laundry in public. It's about creating connection points when you realise you share common ground with your followers. For example, fashion illustrator Zoe Georgiou, said she decided to join my Build Your Audience membership programme after she came to one of my meet-ups and found me warm and welcoming (not the ‘hard-nosed businesswoman ‘she'd expected). But what nailed it was when I revealed I also hated tomato ketchup. Finding those areas of commonality and creating those ‘that happened to me too' moments can be crucial for building your audience.  And as Marsha Shandur points out in our podcast interview on how to use stories to attract your ideal clients, when you're willing to be vulnerable and admit your life isn't perfect, that's when people often feel they can connect with you. 4. ‘Borrow' other peoples' audiences Creating guest content for other peoples' audiences e.g. guest blog posts, guest teaching sessions and virtual summits can be a great way to grow your audience - by tapping into other peoples' audiences.  There are pros and cons for each, but for me, by far the best way to do this is through podcast guest interviews.  Being a podcast guest is a great way to get in front of your ideal customers/clients - and build your audience - fast.  It's much quicker than writing a guest blog post (most podcast interviews last between 30-60 mins) - which means you can potentially do several a week.  It's also a great way to build new relationships quicker.  There's something about being in someone's earbuds that's much more intimate than the written word. Which means that by the end of a thirty minute interview, people often feel they know, like and trust you enough to visit your website, download your free resources and/or even buy your products/service.  And the best thing is, every time you appear on someone else's podcast, you're getting in front of a brand new audience - an audience you haven't had to build yourself. So if you set yourself a target to do three interviews a week, you could potentially build your audience by thousands - in a relatively short space of time. Here's how to pitch yourself as a podcast guest.  5. Show up ‘in person' Hosting a live event can be a great way to connect with your prospective customer/clients. There is something really powerful about meeting someone in person. You can create a much better rapport - and do it faster - than you can online.  This doesn't mean you have to put on a large live event.  A small meet up can be just as effective. And if that really isn't possible, you can add a personal touch by sending a voicemail or using a tool like Bonjoro.  Key takeaway Building an online audience can be tough and it is perfectly normal to hit a plateau. In fact, this can happen at any stage in your business. But if you can swap your a ‘funnel' mindset for a ‘feeling' mindset - using some of the ideas shared in this post - you'll bust through your audience growth plateau quicker.  Podcast shownotes Why you need to think differently when you hit an audience growth plateau (2:50) Why focusing on one platform will help you grow quicker  (04:09) Examples of people that use one social media platform media really well  07:03 Why focusing on the engagement and not numbers will help grow your audience (10:32) Steps to take on your platforms if you've fallen into an audience growth plateau (12:10) Why conversations and engaging on social media can help grow your audience (14:55) How sharing personal stories will help you connect with your audience (15:55) How to choose the content topics that you post about  (19:00) How ‘borrowing' other people's audiences can get you in front of a new audience (24:12) How being a podcast guest can help you grow a new audience (and bonus tips) (25:59) Why showing up in person  can help you connect and grow your audience (28:57) Resources Download 50 ways to build your online audience Kat Coroy online course Instagram Makeover.

Marsha Shandur is a story coach, networking mentor, and memory scavenger at Yes Yes Marsha. She helps leaders and entrepreneurs by teaching them how to make instant and powerful emotional connections with collaborators and dream clients. Marsha is also the host of the podcast Marsha Meets . . . On the show, she has interviewed brilliant comedians like Rufus Hound, Greg Davies, Stewart Lee, and Russell Kane. The show has been hailed twice as one of the world’s Top Ten Best Comedy Podcasts by The Guardian. Marsha is also the co-author of the book Off The Mic: The World’s Best Stand Up Comedians Get Serious About Comedy. The book talks about the mechanics of stand-up comedy and features interviews with 43 comedians including Lewis Black, Marc Maron, Sarah Millican, and Eddie Izzard. The book was nominated for a Chortle Award and The Independent considered it “Fascinating—part textbook, part therapist’s notebook.” Marsha’s Master’s degree in Psychology coupled by her more than a decade experience as producer and radio presenter gave her a good and thorough understanding of how connections are made. She now runs True Stories Told Live, Toronto’s biggest storytelling show and has told her story in Toronto, London, and in front of 3, 000 people at Portland’s World Domination Summit.   This week’s episode talks about content mapping and why it’s important, what the primacy and recency effects are, and the neurology of storytelling and how it works. Marsha also shares why it pays to practice when it comes to storytelling, her thoughts on brevity when telling a story, and what networking is and why it has a less than desirable connotation. When it comes to storytelling, Gretchen has this to say, “People seem to think that storytelling is the skill that you have or you don’t. And it’s not. It’s a learned set of rules.”

Marsha Shandur is a Storytelling Coach who helps big organizations, solopreneurs, and keynote speakers craft their stories in a way that creates instant connections with their ideal clients.

Today, Marsha's approach has been so impactful that she was featured in Forbes, BBC, and Mashable.   Marsha joins me on this episode to share how you as a business owner can immediately connect with your dream clients by using storytelling in your branding, sales pages, and your speech. She explains what ‘action scenes' are and how they help you craft your story and explains the most important part of any story. She also shares why her organization is split into two as she caters to organizations and individuals as well as the reasons why she doesn't turn away someone who wants to learn how to tell their stories. “Every time you think that something could be a story or could be an action scene, write it down.” - Marsha Shandur In This Episode of The Sigrun Show: The journey that led Marsha to be a storytelling coach How she ended up with her domain name How to create a good story that connects with your potential clients As well as how to make people feel like they know you better Debunking the myth about natural storytellers How to use the “Freaky Friday” body-swap approach when telling your story Different ways to say your emotions Telling a story on stage versus trying to teach or telling a story online What matters when you're collecting stories How a stranger led her to her first coach What it means to face yourself every day as an entrepreneur Connect with Marsha Shandur: YesYesMarsha.com Yes Yes Marsha on Facebook Free resources for you!

I like calling it making industry friends.” [2:44]“You think that these people who you think are big heroes get a giant mailbox full of fanmail everyday and they just don’t because people are lazy and also because we don’t tend to thank people in our culture.” [20:32] “I really believe that all anybody wants in life is, one, to feel truly seen and heard and understood and feel like they belong; and two, to feel like they’ve been of service, to feel like they left the world better off than they found it.” [21:58] “Having emotion does so many amazing things in your stories. I feel like the biggest mistake people make is that they leave out emotion.” [42:29] Links: Find Marsha Shandur online Follow Marsha on Facebook | YouTube | Linkedin | Twitter | Instagram Check out Marsha’s secret special page of resources just for Motion Hatch listeners!

Learn how story is the absolute best way to connect with other people, whether onstage, online or in person. In this episode, Marsha Shandur shares some great stories of her own, while sharing how each of us can use story to drive business, transformation and connection. “As humans, we’re desperate to belong; it’s what we crave more than we crave being happy. So by telling a story that has some vulnerability in it, you’re saying to people: "you belong" – not when you’ve fixed yourself, not when you’re perfect, but you belong where you are right now.” – Marsha Shandur Learn more about this episode of Awaken Your Inner Superstar at http://blog.superstaractivator.com/68

Welcome back for another episode of Health Coach Conversations!  This is a special episode featuring Marsha of Yes Yes Marsha .  Today we are going to address marketing your practice, and the best ways for you to grow your business through marketing. As a bonus, we give you the 5 best FREE ways to market your practice. In this episode Cathy talks about the following: How to make your dream clients fall in love with you by using stories. Science behind how storytelling can affect our brains.   Tips to stand out storytelling to grab potential clients interest.    Emotional engagement, via storytelling.   What did it look like, how did it feel.   Humans love stories.  As humans we are wired to connect, we need it to survive, and storytelling has been in our blood for generations. Storytelling affects our brains - when you tell a story and tell it well, people’s brains respond as if they were in the story. When you engage potential clients emotionally, they get to know you very quickly and if you have similar viewpoints you instantly build trust there. The emotions in your stories can also affect the emotions of the listener; which not only helps them to remember what you said but also to remember you. We base all our buying decisions based upon emotions, so let your stories help you. We all have a ton of stories, but to tell a good story there are a few things to keep in mind. It’s  less about the narrative itself and more about how you tell it. Emotions are how we connect with others, break each story down to what did it look like, and how did it feel - leaving out these details are the difference between a story that jumps off the page and into the readers head vs something they scan over and immediately forget. Only use language that you would use conversationally, if you don’t actually exclaim “Tally-Ho!” on a regular basis, don’t put it into your stories. Start your stories with an action sequence, this is where you see the granular details that keep people hooked. There are also things you should avoid with your stories. Never share a story that you haven’t come to peace with yet, you emotional distance from it. If you don’t feel okay when telling the story, the listener will pick up on that and feel unsafe.  Only share one idea per story, anything that you edit out right now can be used again later or somewhere else - but keep your stories focused around one central idea. You are allowed to write and share more, I promise! One of the best things you can do for yourself to grow your own storytelling skills, is to read and listen to others tell their stories.  Tricks to Telling Unforgettable Stories!   The way you tell a story is much more important than what happens in it. Ask yourself two questions: What did it look like? And How did I feel? Always tell things in the chronological order that they happened to you. In order to edit your stories, think about what you most want to get across as a result of the story, and cut everything else. “Kill your darlings.” Always start your stories in an action scene - this is where you find granular details.  Things Mentioned In This Episode: Health Coach Membership Mastery Event Yes Yes Marsha Marsha's Facebook True Stories Toronto The Moth Podcast Jeff Walker Product Launch Formula Elena Lipson Jill Farmer Jeff Goins Alexandra Franzen The Brazen Bible     Links to resources: Health Coach Group Website Work with Marsha

Welcome to Minisode Monday, where we kick off the week with something quick and actionable -- to make you more magnetic and effective -- that you can implement right away. Marsha Shandur of Yes Yes Marsha rejoins us (check out her full episode here) with ways we can harness emotions for powerful storytelling -- and what to leave out for better effect. Let's get to it! The Cheat Sheet: Telling a good story well literally floods your listener's brain with dopamine (which helps with information processing) and oxytocin (which makes them trust you more). Contrary to popular belief, it's not usually the addition of too many details that ruins good storytelling; it's not including enough of the right details. What are the right details? How living through the story made you feel -- the emotions the experience generated. As we share the story with others, tuning them in to these emotions allows them to better relate. Beginning a story with an action sequence (as Marsha demonstrates) places an information gap that helps build tension and keeps people paying attention. Internal monologue describing how events made us feel and naming the emotions experienced keep the listener hooked. Pinpointing where in the body we felt these emotions adds a visceral element that makes the story even more relatable. No spoilers -- as with our favorite television shows, we want tension to build without the ending being given away. This week, practice telling your friends short true stories in which you include how you felt when you were living them.

What are the biggest mistakes people make when they tell a story? It’s not “too much detail.” Storytelling Coach Marsha Shandur gives advice about how to be a powerful storyteller - even if you’re a private person or a therapist concerned about disclosing too much.   When you meet Marsha in real life, she makes an impression. You always remember what you feel around her (it’s all about grinning and being fabulously real, we find). That phenomenon totally carries over into the POBScast experience.   There’s a truth that so many coaches share: When you get very clear on why you are doing what you are doing, everything changes. When you’re in alignment, the universe starts throwing what you need in your path. Marsha tells us about her light bulb moment…   For years she thought she was supposed to be using her storytelling coaching skills in order to help nonprofits and other change the world ideas, but then she realized her real mission: she’s going to help us all understand that no one has their SH** together. She lives her message across her online platforms, but particularly in her weekly Facebook thread: “I don’t have it all together Tuesday.” (Follow her personal FB profile to participate - it’s the best!)   The experience of selling your personal brand, especially as a coach, means that you need to put out the best version of yourself. It’s necessary to look like we’re successful because we want people to hire us, but... Marsha calls on Brene Brown’s wisdom: when you meet someone, vulnerability is the first thing you look for in them and the last thing you want to show.   Storytelling is a brilliant, low-stakes way to be vulnerable. You need distance to tell the story well. The magic of time and distance makes it ok to share difficult parts of yourself and talk about your feelings.   Successful storytellers don’t rely on facts and opinions but on feelings. What does it take to feel your feelings? Marsha walks us through an exercise that helps you connect to the sensations in the moment and describe them. We touch on the neuroscience of story and how to create the “Freaky Friday Body Swap” phenomenon.   Want more of Marsha? Say “yes, yes” and visit the super special secret page she created just for the POBScast community: http://www.yesyesmarsha.com/pobs/   OUR SPONSOR   We’re so excited to welcome the latest sponsor to the POBScast family:  MetaFi is a self-awareness app created by therapists that is available FREE on Android and iOS.

Life on Purpose Episode #66 is the long-promised return of the LoP Round-Table! For my third RT, I was joined by Marsha Shandur, Charles Gupton, and Rick Charlie. They are each storytellers and creatives who work in a variety of different mediums (podcasts, storytelling, blogs, photos, video) and each use prompts on social media to examine the human condition and show that "I Don't Have It All Together", as Marsha's weekly Tuesday post proves! They joined me for an in-depth conversation on the topic of "pretending" — both online and in-person — including examining why we do it, what's actually behind the "look how cool I am" postings many of us make, and what purpose is pretending serving? We also discussed practical tips for being more authentic, intentional, and vulnerable in both your online and IRL interactions. This discussion was prompted by the following Facebook post from Rick Charlie, based on a question originally asked by author and motivational speaker Simon Sinek: Something to think about: How much of your time and energy is put into pretending? Pretending things are okay, when they are not. Pretending there is not pain, when inside you hurt so much. Pretending that you know what you are doing, yet are actually terrified of the next step. Pretending you have a really good life, but you are totally unsatisfied in it. Pretending that all those past things don't affect you, yet they really continue to plague you like an addiction you can't shake. Pretending that you have it all together when you don't even have a clue what it all is in the first place. How.Much.Energy?
