Coming to you from Whidbey Island Washington, this is Stories From Women Who Walk a uniquely forward-looking, story-based podcast for anyone charmed by and curious about the power of story to profoundly and positively shift our awareness, our behavior, even our culture as well as those who wish to learn more about the power of walking to reveal the world around us and within us. Like magic, the sorcery of stories is this: they help each of us to be seen and heard, to understand and be understood.

EDITOR’S NOTE: LISTEN TO PART ONE HERE

When asked the question, “What would you do if you were fearlessly courageous?”  Elena Marsh said, “I would walk Camino”.  And she did walk – in August 2019. But miles weren’t all she collected. There was personal growth. Talking with Elena last week in Part 1 I asked her what she would say to someone contemplating the Camino.

BIO: 

Walking Camino de Santiago was my dream for many years since my husband showed me the film “The Way” with Martin Sheen and Emilio Estavez.  With all my insights I felt that I MUST go. I just knew it’s my thing to do and that something special will happen to me there. Year after year I was postponing the adventure. Until December 2018 when I had a coaching session with my coach and she asked me “What would you do if you were fearlessly courageous?” And I said: “I would walk Camino”. And from this moment it all began to get serious. My Camino happened in August 2019. Together with my husband, I walked from Saint Jean Pied de Port to Santiago de Compostella. It impacted my life significantly on different levels. And this is what I will be sharing with you in this podcast.

"DIANE IS A KEEN STORYTELLING PROBLEM SOLVER BECAUSE SHE LISTENS DEEPLY, QUESTIONS WITH EMPATHY, AND BELIEVES THAT THE CLIENT HAS THE ANSWERS TO THEIR COMMUNICATION CHALLENGES. TRUST DIANE TO FIND THE STORY, LISTEN IT OUT OF YOU, AND GUIDE YOU TO A BETTER STORY." ... MANY OF US tell our stories from the perspective of what we do, the tasks we complete, and the great things we deliver. However, we forget that we are human beings with stories to tell to connect with other human beings and their stories. Our stories and the power of our human voice attract us to each other and attract our clients and audiences. FOR 30 YEARS I’ve helped professionals take their story from a message only they could hear to the publishing world, the courtroom, hospitals, board meetings, the airwaves, and more. Stories that swayed juries. Built markets. Spread ideas. Changed things. TODAY I HELP others become successful story influencers. It’s a niche the world needs: helping socially conscious professionals and organizations succeed by discovering and delivering their authentic story messages to connect with, engage, and influence their audience. HOW DID I EARN THE RIGHT TO CARRY THE STORY MEDICINE? I know struggles. I offer solutions. Over the years as an incest survivor, a professional woman in male-dominated professions, growing up with generational myths about the role of women, I lost my voice, had it taken from me, felt it compressed and constrained. I silenced myself only to learn that language is power when it is brought to light and life. When we discover our one true authentic voice, we shape our personal or professional story, mission, or vision so we are seen, heard, understood, and listened to. When we tell our story to advance our business, create clarity in life choices, give life to our ideas, we connect, engage, and influence our audience with our courage, confidence, conviction, and creativity. WHETHER YOU ARE READY to work with me as your trusted story guide or getting ready to be ready, I am ready to support you at Quarter Moon Story Arts. MEANWHILE, FEEL WELCOME feel welcome to subscribe to my monthly Engaged Storyism© Network NewsAudioLetter and listen to my global podcast episodes on Stories From Women Who Walk.
