In this episode of Career Can Do, Mary Ann Faremouth chats with Deepak Sharma, a professional life coach, and certified world class speaking coach. He is also the author of the Amazon bestseller, Move Mountains: One Story at a Time.
Deepak talks about how he overcame his aversion to storytelling and transformed it into something he now teaches to others. Everyone has a story, he says. It doesn’t have to be sensational, all it has to be is sincere. He now helps entrepreneurs use storytelling to empower their vendors, teams, and individuals in their organizations.
Deepak shares advice he was given when he was struggling with effective communication. Not long ago, mastering English was a challenge for him, and he even struggled with communicating in his native language, Hindi. He grew frustrated, but his mentor shared a gem of wisdom that motivated him to persevere. “Every master was a disaster before he became a master,” he was told. This encouraged him to not dwell on his failures but instead learn from them.
