In celebrating the 400th Episode of Your Stories Don't Define You How You Tell Them Will, Sarah Elkins ruminates on the many lessons and gifts she has been given throughout her journey as a podcaster, an entrepreneur, and a person. From returning to what truly matters, to reciprocating the good and beautiful things in life.    Highlights What goals have you met that still shock you? What are you reflecting on and have you made amendments to others and yourself? How do you reciprocate in your relationships? Especially in the relationship with yourself. Are you surrounding yourself with the people who help build you? Who reciprocates your intentions? How do you hold space for the stories of those around you?   Quotes "She thinks about it in terms of returning to our core goodness. She believes this is our opportunity to return, find, and bring our hearts back to that core in action." "When I receive, what am I giving in return? When I give, what am I receiving in return?" "Stop chasing people who don't treat you the way you deserve to be treated." "Everything we do has consequences. Everything we do is reciprocal."   Dear Listeners it is now your turn, What words do you infuse in your life, relationships, and actions? What role does reciprocity play for you? And what was one thing in this episode that's so sticky that you will change something; behavior, actions, or maybe something in your internal dialogue?    And, as always, thank you for listening.    Mentioned in This Episode Montana Jewish Project Braiding Sweetgrass The Blessing of A Skinned Knee   About Sarah "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision." In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana. Be sure to check out the Storytelling For Professionals Course as well to make sure you nail that next interview!
