Description

In HR, we’re taught that great storytelling means tailoring our message to the audience — but what if that advice can actually backfire?


In this episode, Matthew breaks down why focusing too much on your audience can dilute your authenticity, weaken your influence, and make your message less effective. You’ll learn how to balance strategy with sincerity so your stories actually connect, inspire change, and drive results.


🎙️ On November 17 & 18, join us as we dive deeper into the Power Skill every HR professional needs to master — storytelling at the Free HR Mentorship Summit. Learn how to use stories to influence, inspire, and lead more effectively in your organization (and that’s just the beginning).

✨ Plus, explore other essential leadership and communication skills that will elevate your HR impact in 2025.
