WESOS Downers Grove: The Power of Storytelling in Business and in Life

Topic: The Power of Storytelling in Business and in Life

Join us on Thursday, August 21, at 11:30am, for an engaging networking meeting featuring member speaker, Ellen Cleary.

Your story is not a vulnerability — it’s your superpower. Ellen Cleary will explore three core truths about storytelling in business and in life: sharing your story builds trust, shapes who you are, and powers deeper connections. Whether you're launching a brand, building a team, or looking for growth, her talk will give you permission — and practical tools — to lead with authenticity, speak with purpose, and turn your lived experience into your greatest advantage.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

Your story is a super power, not a vulnerability.  I believe there are at least 3 truths when it comes to storytelling, in business and in life.

1. Sharing your story builds trust.

2. Sharing your story shapes who you are.

3. Sharing your story powers deeper connections.
