Are you leveraging your most unique asset in sales and leadership? Your story is the one thing your competitors can’t copy. Join us as we explore how to use storytelling to connect deeply with clients and stand out in business. You’ll never look at public speaking the same way again.

Your competitor can’t tell your story—and that’s your biggest advantage.” – Michael Davis

In this episode of “The Good, Bad, and Ugly of Business,” host Catryn Becker is joined by storytelling expert Michael Davis, founder of Speaking CPR. They explore the profound impact of storytelling in sales, leadership, and public speaking. Michael explains how storytelling allows individuals to connect authentically with their audience, highlighting that personal stories—especially those born out of mistakes or failures—are powerful tools that competitors cannot replicate. He shares insights into why many people fear public speaking, explaining that the real fear is often tied to potential humiliation rather than the act of speaking itself.

Throughout the conversation, Michael emphasizes the importance of embracing authenticity in communication. Rather than striving for perfection, he encourages individuals to lean into their unique experiences, even those that might not seem noteworthy. By sharing genuine stories that convey lessons learned, professionals can foster deeper connections with clients, teams, and audiences. The episode wraps up with practical advice on how to overcome fear and trust in the power of one’s own narrative to drive business success.
