Find the courage and go for it.

Sharing stories from your career or personal life on public channels can be terrifying.

Vulnerable? Me? Nope. Not a chance.

If you held back a smile while reading that, you know I’m right.

Every woman I’ve worked with who has mustered up the courage to share their stories publicly — on podcasts, LinkedIn or otherwise — has found themselves where you are right now — in a standoff with their own vulnerability.

Trust me. Vulnerability can be a good thing. Vulnerability is where the magic begins.

Once you make the mental commitment to put yourself out there — cringe! — it’s all about finding the courage to go for it.

True Stories.

✅ I have a client in round two of a TEDx speaking application because she developed the courage to share the story of her late parents' undeniable influence on her education.

✅ I have a client who landed a six-figure contract from her LinkedIn articles.

✅ I, myself, have landed clients as a result of sharing my story on a podcast.

Your stories are waiting to be heard. They hold the power of credibility, trust and influence.

If you can find the courage to toss your fear aside and forget about what other people might think, you can begin to know the feeling of standing in your own power.

When you start to exercise the power of your story, you separate yourself from the thousands of others who are afraid to be seen.

Whether you are launching a business, making a job announcement, or growing your following… you have to hold trust in the power of your story. If you want to be seen, you have to find the courage to go for it.

At WINS, we position women for media, develop their unique voices on external platforms, and connect them with opportunities to share their expertise on a larger scale via speaking, awards and memberships.

Together with our clients, we are establishing trust, building credibility, driving warm leads, and converting new business.

If you are ready to start leveraging the power of your story, please feel free to book a consult. We are here for you.
