Hello, world.

Welcome to discover your talent, do what you love, number 435.

I'm creator and host, Don Hutchison.

Every day, I interview someone from around the world who has

discovered her talents to do work she loves to create a life of success, satisfaction, and freedom.

Once a week, I interview well-known experts from the field of personal or business development

who share experiences, tools, and insights to help our listeners along their journeys.

Today, I'm delighted to bring you our featured expert, Debbie Stone. Welcome, Debbie.

Thanks, Don. Glad to be here. Thank you so much. A few words about Debbie Stone. Debbie Stone is an

executive coach and keynote speaker. She's the author of the art of self-promotion.

Tell your story, transform your career, and the founder of Novartier Partners, an executive

coaching company serving lawyers, entrepreneurs, corporate leaders, and the organizations in which

they work. Prior to 2002, Debbie practiced law for 16 years and worked at Bain & Company.

She holds undergraduate and law degrees from Duke University. Well, Debbie, today's topic is one of my

favorites of all coming from the marketing business. Why telling your story is so vital in today's

marketplace, which is what you've written this whole book about and what

your many years of experience have prepared you for. So take the stage and tell our listeners

around the world why telling your story is so vital today. Yeah, thanks, Don. It is so vital

because all of us, regardless of where we are in our career paths, whether we're simply starting out or whether

we've reached the pinnacle or we might be somewhere in between, we all need other people in

order to get where we want to go in our careers. And if others don't know who we are and what we

contribute, then they are not going to be able to help us reach our career goals.
