What is Mommy Lied to God?
You’ll learn the characteristics of authentic storytelling with a dose of comic relief and how to apply them so your stories build trust with your audience. If you’re struggling with what to say, Carlos will show you how to simplify your message and clearly communicate the value you can offer people. I share lessons from my own experiences and some of the biggest clients I have worked over the past 18 years. My hope is by the end of the book you’ll not only have the tools to become a better storyteller you will be inspired to live a better story. That might sound cheesy but if it helps sell just one book it will have been worth it.
