Stories Connect
2 Main Ways to Connect
•Similarity
–“Just like you”
•Vulnerability
–“I’m authentic”
Vulnerability/Authenticity
• Own your imperfections/mistakes
• Allow your enthusiasm to show
• Be present with people

When you connect
you can convince.
“People don’t just buy our
shoes, they tell our story”
- Blake Mycoskie, TOMS Shoes
