What happens when you finally stop hiding your voice and share the story you've been afraid to tell?

Three-time Emmy Award-winning journalist and CEO of Pierre Principle Communications, Monica Pierre, talks with host Natalie Benamou and reveals the profound moment that changed how she tells stories. Monica shares “If you help people tell their story with dignity and strength, it’s far more effective than anything else that you could do.”

Listen in as Monica shares why the stories leaders hold back often carry the greatest weight  and what happens when we choose to speak them with intention.

From the lens of journalism, leadership, and lived experience, Monica describes how powerful stories are shaped, why credibility is built through truth and timing, and how leaders can take ownership of their narrative without oversharing or self-editing themselves into invisibility.

This conversation will inspire  you to think about storytelling in a new way.

3 Power Takeaways:

1. The way a story is told matters as much as the story itself

2. Telling your own story requires a different kind of courage

3. Fear shapes decisions when it isn’t named

Your Story Matters Now More than Ever

We are living in a moment where credibility, trust, and presence are being redefined. The way you tell or don’t tell  your story plays a bigger role than you may realize in the way people see you as a leader.

“One of the things that happens when some people decide that they want to tell their story, all the thoughts start to happen. What if people know I’m talking about them? What if they’re going to be angry with me? What will be the consequences of telling my story? But we don’t realize that when we have the courage to tell our stories, it’s going to impact someone for the better..”-Monica Pierre

This episode is about crafting a narrative that resonates with the listener. It will help guide you to have a better understanding about the quiet power of your lived experience and choosing when to share it.

Now it is your turn to think about what idea can you turn into your power story?

Keep shining your light bright. The world needs you.
