Define Your WHY: Chapter 12: WHY Be the Chief Storyteller of You and Your WHY?
In this chapter, you will learn why you are the best person to share your story and your WHY. Several people will share examples of writing and speaking about being positive, kind, and joyful as they spread their messages. There will be ideas on why your voice matters and how to be your own best advocate. We will discuss why change is difficult and how going out of your comfort zone is the only way for change to happen. When you know your WHY and live it, it is important for you to tell your story before someone else does.
