Thank you for joining me at this special time.

This weeks Choosing Happy Podcast interview is about the power of story in life and business. I got to chat with Jackie Wilson - who is passionate about using stories to engage, entertain and create powerful content, copy and communications.

Her passion and wealth of knowledge and experience shine through in this interview. I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did!  

Discovering the Power of Storytelling in Business and Life!

In this episode of the 'Choosing Happy Podcast', host, Heather Masters, welcomes guest, Jackie Wilson, a former journalist who uses the power of storytelling in business.

Jackie shares her journey from journalism to content marketing and discusses the significance of crafting a narrative in business.

She underscores the impact of storytelling on brain science, its utility in delivering memorable messages, and shares how the 'hero’s journey' archetype can be applied in business storytelling.

Furthermore, they explore the potential pitfalls of oversharing personal experiences in storytelling, and provide recommendations for those trying to incorporate storytelling in their business.

About Jackie:

A journalist by background, and with a vein of nosiness running through everything I do, I’ve written in many different contexts and capacities all my working life. A short while ago I dug into the power of storytelling in a business context and now I want everyone to know it, understand it, and use it! For all of our sakes and for a more entertaining content landscape!

Heather Masters

After struggling to feel comfortable in my own skin for years, and after living through many life and career/business changes, I finally discovered something that helped me get comfortable with the unknown and discover what it was I truly wanted, and to connect with that heartfelt knowing I hadn't been able to get clarity on. I have turned that into a system that helps techies, Entrepreneurs and online creatives (Artists, writers, techies and digital creators) overcome their blocks so they can step into who they really are, tap into their Creative genius and confidently show up in their lives like never before.

When you are tired of being tired...
My mission is to help you step out of old destructive patterns and beliefs that limit you and free you up to create the intuitively guided business and life that empowers and ignites you.

Create A Future Distinct From The Past.

And for those Awakened Entrepreneurs and Business owners, navigating a challenging and vastly changing world landscape, I have created the Online Success Academy, and focused one to one coaching programs, that help you traverse the chaos and take advantage of the new and exciting opportunities presenting themselves.
