What Everyone Gets Wrong About Storytelling (and How to Get it
Right)
Think you need a dramatic, vulnerable life story to be a great storyteller?
Your host Kate Wolf debunks this myth and reveals what almost everyone
misses about storytelling: it’s not about you, it’s about your audience. In this
episode of Electric Voices, discover the “gold” hiding in your experiences,
and learn how to craft stories with impact (even if you don’t think you have
any).
Explore Kate’s step-by-step guide to dropping your audience straight into
the action, using sensory and emotive language, and landing every story
with a transformational takeaway. Plus: how to become a “story hunter” so
you’re never stuck for engaging material, why story isn’t a buzzword but a
timeless tool, and the biggest mistake that’s turning would-be storytellers
into accidental bores.
What’s inside:
● The number one mistake speakers make with storytelling
● How to find the “gold” in your experiences (even if you don’t have a
rags-to-riches story)
● How to use sensory and emotional language to bring stories to life
● Easy ways to spot, collect, and practice telling stories every day
● The timeless power of storytelling for connection, learning, and
changing the world

Meet your host
From professional clown to six-figure founder, speaker mentor and creator of The Electric Speaker Academy, I help brilliant women become more publicly powerful without disconnecting from themselves in the process.
Because the problem is rarely talent. It’s the moment visibility causes a woman to start editing herself in real time.
With a background spanning theatre, business, and the kind of deep identity work that makes both possible, my work sits at the intersection of speaking, craft, and commercial power. I help women move away from polished self-protection and performative expertise, and become an Electric Speaker whose presence transforms the room.

A letter, once a week. Not a newsletter you skim and delete. A voice in your inbox.
I write about the things nobody in the coaching world will say plainly. Why “different” is the wrong thing to obsess over, and what actually matters. Why the imperfect real beats the imaginary perfect every time. The sales tactics I understand, could use, and categorically will not.
Some weeks it’s a story. Some weeks it’s a stand. Always it’s the truth as I see it, and an invitation to see yourself more clearly.
If you’ve got integrity running through you like a stick of rock, and you’re done letting people with less of it have the limelight, this is your letter.
