You may believe that you must prove yourself in a job interview, which can lead to you appearing unconfident. You do not. It's a simple mindset shift of recognizing your strengths and owning what you bring to the table, which allows you to feel confident and stay present. Let's tap your strengths and accomplishments and highlight them through your interview stories.
You may feel unsure of what the company is looking for in a candidate, which can lead to you sharing irrelevant information during an interview. We teach you how to use the job description and company website to decide what is important to highlight in your job interview — and to think like a hiring manager, so you know what they are looking for in your responses.
You may feel nervous speaking in front of audiences. Storytelling is one of the most authentic ways to connect with yourself (after all, it is your story), and your audience. Not only will this course help you during your job interview, but it will also help you further your career because you're learning the skills to be a persuasive communicator.
You may be hyper focusing on yourself during a job interview, instead of focusing on your audience, which results in over or undersharing. By having multiple interview stories prepared in advance and having an effective storytelling formula to frame them you can shift your focus to connecting with the hiring manager and knowing what your sharing is just enough.
The first response that comes to mind to an interview question might not be the best example. Our With 1 Word® approach to SEARCHING for stories opens the opportunity to find a multitude of stories to choose from, so you can highlight the best examples during your job interview.
Too many times we ramble on and on until the hiring manager stops caring (but might continue to fake interest). Our visual approach for SHAPING stories using the SARM (Situation, Action, Result, Message/Modification/Meaning) storytelling formula allows you to get your thoughts down quickly so you don't get stuck in grammatical minutia and lets you easily trim the excess from your stories to ensure your stories are specific, concise, and memorable.
As good as a story may sound in our head, it never seems to come out with the same level of success until we’ve practiced saying it out loud several times. This is different from memorization, because you may tell your story differently every time and refine it with your reps. We help you practice sharing your stories out loud, so that you feel confident and improve them along the way.

Expert Career and Job Interview Coach
I have been a career coach for over a decade. In that time, I have prepared hundreds of clients for job interviews. With my guidance, my clients step into their interviews knowing what to say and feeling confident about their abilities.
In this course, you will hear my stories about how I prepared to interview for a job as a high school college advisor using the same techniques you are learning. (In case you're wondering, I got the job!)
Public Speaking Coach
I have been pitching my message and taking "stage bows" for 30 years. I have worked in sales management, photojournalism, professional coaching, and professional speaking. I have blended a lifetime of service, experience and stories into a business of helping others elevate their personal brand through storytelling and public speaking.
Four years ago, I created a gamified approach to searching for, shaping, and sharing memorable stories. I am so excited to share this unique system with you in this course.
Networking Coach and Former Recruiter
As a certified professional networking coach and storytelling consultant, I help empower individuals so they can learn how to create strong connections, lead meaningful careers, and speak with confidence in any setting.
As a former recruiter, I know what employers are looking for in a candidate, and I bring my insider's knowledge to this course to help you answer questions for maximum impact.
I didn’t even think to tie items from the job description to help answer the question, "Tell me about yourself." This course gave me a succinct way to do that. I was able to try it out shortly after the course, and it was pretty incredible to see how the interviewer leaned in to learn more.
