What’s Your Story?

Hi there!

Last week, I caught up with someone who’s seen it all when it comes to career growth and personal branding. Something she said really hit home: success—whether in landing your dream job or building a business—is rarely just about skills. It’s about the story you tell.

When you're applying for a job, simply listing your skills won’t make you stand out. But weaving those skills into a story that highlights your journey, achievements, and unique perspective? That’s what makes you unforgettable. The role you’re aiming for starts feeling like a natural next chapter in your career.

Most of us find it hard to see ourselves as the main character of our own tale. Want a starting point? Ask your friends, “What’s the one thing about me that stands out?” Then build on that insight to craft your narrative.

The power is in your hands. You’re the author of your career story—just make sure it’s one people won’t forget. 😉
