Heather Box and Julian Mocine-McQueen believe that everyone has a story to tell, and that story has the power to influence others—family, friends, a community, or even the whole world. In their book How Your Story Sets You Free they explain why storytelling is the most powerful way there is to inspire others and build lasting connections, and they guide readers step by step through the process of uncovering and sharing their own authentic personal stories. The techniques in this book work equally well whether you choose to tell your story and share it from the TED stage or at your kitchen table. They speak and run workshops all over the world to support change makers in standing up to use their voice. They have worked with over 3,000 people from 70 different countries. Their clients have gone on to share at the United Nations, TED stages across the world, on national news and more.
