Two more of my story buds have converged in a podcast this week on Blog Talk Radio, Storytelling with StoryMojo Michael Margolis, hosted by Trey Pennington. Here’s the description:

Michael Margolis helps entrepreneurs tell powerful stories. We’ll be talking about his newest educational, transformational program The New About Me.

Learn How to Transform Your Bio Into a Distinctive Story

The New About Me is an Online Toolkit that teaches you step-by-step how to tell and share your personal story online without the need for bragging, boasting, or hiding. You’ll emerge with a new bio story that you can use on your “About” page, LinkedIn, Facebook, and all the places where you need to talk about yourself.

Every successful person and every successful business has an amazing story — we always remember their story, don’t we? You too have a story that is the key to attracting clients, making money, and getting the recognition you deserve. I know the power of your story and I want to help you find that story so you can create the real impact you’re here to make. It’s time to play big, isn’t it?

Knowing how to use stories in the various stages of project management is key. Read the complete guide here (it’s even downloadable).

Thanks to friend and colleague Terrence Garguilo for putting this article together and so generously sharing it with us.
