As writers, we spend a lot of time focusing on helping other people tell their stories. Maybe you do client work, coaching, run a writing community as I do, or interview others for a podcast, as I do as well. Even if you only write for yourself, much of your time is spent thinking about how you can help other people live a better story.
It is important, however, that we don’t forget about our own stories. Those are perhaps the easiest ones to neglect. It’s easy to downplay or even disregard the value we bring to the table, and what others can learn from our experiences.
That’s why I’m excited to feature a conversation with my friend Danielle Cook. Danielle is a writer and entrepreneur who has worked with over a hundred business owners, creatives, and thought leaders who were ready to break through the noise and speak to the heart of their ideal audience. Whether it’s crafting the book you’ve been dreaming of or writing a bio that strikes the perfect balance of passion and expertise, Danielle can take your ideas and visions that have been swirling in your head and get them down on paper.
Danielle believes that the words we use transform our lives, our businesses, and our world. She is committed to helping anyone who is ready to use their voice to break through the noise and speak to the heart.
In this conversation, Danielle shares her story and how she got involved in business and writing, what it means to own your story, and some actionable steps to writing an engaging bio that uses the magic of story to build the know, like, and trust factors that are so important in communication.
