In this show, we're joined by the incomparable Mikki Williams—Hall of Fame speaker, master storyteller, and creative force—to talk about the power and craft of Transformational Stories. Storytelling has become one of the most popular and effective ways to connect, teach, and inspire, but what makes a story truly unforgettable? Mikki shares how to find stories in everyday life, how to shape and pace them for maximum impact, and how humor and authenticity turn ordinary moments into extraordinary messages. We'll also explore the art and skill behind great storytelling—why it's both a performance and a discipline—and how mastering it can transform not only your presentations but your personal and professional influence.
