040. Power Story: From Invisible to King w/ Jérôme Savoie

04/19/23 • 25 min

What was a specific moment where you realized “I’m really good at [blank]”... or even better, you realize “THIS is my superpower”?

We all have moments in our lives that can be turned into Power Stories, anchor stories that we can use to create emotion-driven connections between us and our audiences. For most of us, it takes outside help to make that happen.
In this podcast, go behind the scenes at Story Greenlight and experience the coaching call between Jeff Bartsch and Jérôme Savoie. Jérôme is a singer, multi-instrumentalist, composer, and music teacher. He teaches music to kids in Montreal, in French-speaking Quebec.
Jeff helps Jérôme uncover moments in his own life that have the power to inspire his students, potentially even for years to come.
Jérôme had these stories in him all along, and so do you.

039. Build Your Influence with Strategic Storytelling w/ Jeff Bartsch

Here’s the crazy thing about storytelling – most of us do it all the time, so we think we know what it is. But at one point or another, we’ve all experienced storytelling at another level, and we know there’s a lot more that goes into it than what we might think.

Strategic Storytelling exists in forms you already recognize, but it also exists in a bigger form that you probably DON’T recognize, because hardly anybody ever talks about it. Check out this episode for more on storytelling on the small scale AND the big scale.

041. Donuts in the Kitchen – Communication Moments Pt 1 w/ Jeff Bartsch

We all know communication is important for business success. But we also know that a lot of communication is disposable and annoying.

It’s tempting to just become a hermit and only focus on the next big project or sales contract. But tunnel vision with communication isn’t wise either – whether you’re a solo operator or you’re leading an internal team or a huge company.

How do we stay focused on the communication that actually matters? That’s what Jeff talks about in this episode!
