WHY YOUR STORYTELLING STYLE ISN’T BUILDING CREDIBILITY AT WORK

Oscar Wilde's quote “imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness” is a powerful one to consider in this situation. We’re all aware of the first part of Oscar’s quote but it’s important to remember the powerful message in the second part.

Your storytelling style could be lacking credibility because you may – unintentionally – be trying to mimic a storyteller that you look up to or has been a role model early in your career.

While it’s important to have those people in your mind as motivation, finding your unique voice and approach is an important self-awareness exercise.

Embrace your unique tone, pace, and voice style as this will serve as your distinctive asset in your personal brand!

Be memorable!
