What if your next business opportunity—or your next big career breakthrough—depended on how well you tell a story?

In this episode, I welcome Philipp Humm—storytelling expert, TEDx speaker, and author of three bestselling books—to decode how storytelling can transform your communication, confidence, and career, especially if you’re an introvert or someone who’s never thought of themselves as a “natural storyteller.”

From busting the myth that storytelling is only “fluff,” to sharing practical ways to bring even dry, data-heavy presentations to life, Philipp reveals how stories help you stand out, stay memorable, and spark genuine connection—even in the most corporate of environments.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Three essential types of business stories you need in your toolkit
  
  
• The #1 mistake that makes business storytelling boring—and how to avoid it
  
  
• How introverts can use speaking and storytelling to attract opportunities (without awkward networking)
  
  
• The real reason vulnerability makes you a more inspiring leader—and how to share without feeling exposed
