THE UNIQUE STORY METHOD™️ BUSINESS BOOST
When it comes to promoting your business, it's not about the product or service you sell. It’s about the story you tell.
Yet too many business owners don't know how to tell their personal or company story. Instead, they pour time and resources into social media and publicity services. While they're wondering why they're not getting the results they want, their competitors are acquiring their potential customers and clients.
With the Unique Story Method™️, journalist and New York Times bestselling author Anna David shows entrepreneurs how to effectively understand and share their personal or company story so that their marketing and publicity efforts will actually pay off.
David came up with the Unique Story Method during the years she spent interviewing such celebrities as Jim Carrey, Jada Pinkett, Kate Hudson and Jessica Alba for magazines. She perfected it while writing her two novels and six non-fiction books. When she launched her publishing company in 2016, she was able to start sharing it with entrepreneurs so they could amplify their businesses (and lives).
In this interactive talk, David guides business owners through the process of determining their personal or company story in a way that will help grow their business. When presented as a workshop, it allows opportunities for the participants to open up to one another in a way they normally wouldn't.
WHAT DO PEOPLE HAVE TO SAY?
"Anna's presentation to the virtual IPPSA chapter was nothing short of exceptional. She skillfully emphasized the power of personal narrative in attracting customers, underscoring the importance of each member's unique story in building authentic connections. Anna's thought-provoking question, 'What's your story?' sparked introspection among attendees, encouraging them to embrace their individual experiences as powerful tools for business growth and connection. Highly recommend!"

OVERCOMING EPIC FAILURE TO ACHIEVE EPIC GOALS
Failure can demolish us—or at least shatter our confidence. It can make us question our worthiness, second guess ourselves and feel like we need to shoot a little bit lower next time.
But to New York Times bestselling author Anna David, failure is the best thing that can happen. The host of the Fail Your Way to Success podcast, David has written about failure for Psychology Today and Entrepreneur. And she believes that failure can be a sign that we haven't been shooting high enough.
In “Overcoming Epic Failure to Achieve Epic Goals,” David walks people through the failures of high-profile leaders, shares studies about the different impact failure can have on us and asks audience members to look at their own struggles and successes. She then pushes them to come up with EPIC (Extraordinary, Powerful, Impactful and Courageous) goals based on the lessons they’ve learned from their most epic failures.
Using wit, live journaling exercises and unique stories—about topics as varied as meeting a goal 27 years after setting it and learning about manifestation from a pre-fame Matt Damon—David provides audiences with specific journaling exercises and actionable steps. Even better: every participant leaves with an EPIC Goal Workbook that already has their initial goals and actions mapped out.
