  What's Your Story? Four Simple Story Frameworks For Work

  Sep 28, 202618 minS3

  We almost didn’t have an episode this week. Then at Jess's birthday dinner — two people telling the exact same story in completely different ways — reminded us just how much the way you tell your story matters. Because storytelling at work isn’t just for interviews or presentations. You’re telling stories every time you explain your impact, talk about how you’ve grown, show how you’ve stepped up as a leader, or simply introduce yourself to someone new. In this episode, we break down the career stories everyone should have ready: • Your Impact Story — what changed because you were there • Your Growth Story — what changed in you or your team • Your Leadership Story — when you started leading before anyone gave you the title • Your “Meet Me” Story — the memorable story that helps people get to know the human behind the job title Plus, Jess and Claude prove the point by telling their own Work Bestie origin story very differently — before somehow ending up with Jess the accountant and Claude the butcher. Because whether you think you’re a storyteller or not, you’re already telling stories. The question is: what do you want people to remember?

  Becoming Memorable At Work

  Sep 21, 202630 minS3

  You did the work. You have the data. You know the answer. So why does someone else say almost the exact same thing five minutes later—and suddenly everyone remembers it? That’s not always an expertise problem. Sometimes, it’s a visibility problem. Jess and Claude sit down with actress, director, keynote speaker, and storytelling expert Sabine Kvenberg to talk about what actually makes someone memorable in a room—and whether presence, confidence, and storytelling can be learned. Sabine shares why confidence is a learned skill, how introverts can build presence without becoming louder, and her SET framework for stronger storytelling: Story, Emotion, and Tie. We also explore the confidence-competence loop, why great storytelling isn’t about making every moment dramatic, and how the way you deliver an idea can be just as important as the idea itself. Plus, we get into AI: how to use it to strengthen your communication without letting it flatten your voice into something generic—and why AI can learn how you sound, but it still can’t know or replace your lived story. In this episode: • Why being right isn’t always enough to be remembered • How confidence and stage presence can be developed • Why introverts can be powerful storytellers • Sabine’s SET storytelling framework • How storytelling improves workplace visibility • The difference between sharing information and creating something memorable • How to use AI without losing your authentic voice • What makes someone truly memorable in a room Learn more about Sabine Kvenberg and her book Gumption at SabineKvenberg.com. Because your story doesn’t need to be louder. It needs to be yours.

  Own Your Story: Build Confidence & Be Seen with Thomas R. Wilson

  Sep 14, 202626 minS3

  What if the thing that made you feel different is actually one of your greatest strengths? In this episode of Work Besties Who Podcast , Jess and Claude sit down with storyteller, writer and advocate Thomas R. Wilson to explore how owning your story can help you build confidence, embrace creativity and feel more seen. Thomas shares how storytelling became a source of connection and belonging in his own life—and why creativity isn’t reserved for writers, artists or performers. Sometimes it’s problem-solving. Sometimes it’s finding your voice. And sometimes it’s simply creating something because it brings you joy. Together, they talk about perfectionism, learning to trust compliments, strength-based thinking, finding your people and why sharing your story doesn’t mean sharing every part of yourself. Because confidence doesn’t always come before you tell your story. Sometimes telling—and owning—your story is how you build it. IN THIS EPISODE: • How storytelling can help us feel less alone • Why creativity belongs to everyone • Creating something just for yourself • Why perfectionism can become a defense mechanism • Learning to see your strengths differently • Strength-based vs. deficit-based thinking • How community helps us find our voice • Why owning your story doesn’t mean oversharing • How knowing your worth, strengths and power builds confidence QUESTION OF THE WEEK: How can owning your story help you build confidence?

  Noticed vs. Seen: Jess’s Ode to Claude

  Sep 7, 202621 minS3

  September on Work Besties Who is all about storytelling and visibility: finding your voice, owning your story, communicating your value, and allowing yourself to be seen—not only for the work you produce, but for the person you are and the perspective you bring. And because storytelling is one of Jess’s greatest strengths, there was only one way she could begin the month: by telling the story of someone who is an enormous part of her own. In this special solo episode, Jess shares an ode to her cohost, friend, and work bestie for life, Claude. Jess reflects on the difference between being noticed and being truly seen—and how Claude’s intelligence, honesty, loyalty, grounded confidence, and unwavering belief have helped Jess recognize the power of her own voice. Because being noticed is when someone knows what you accomplished. Being seen is when someone understands the courage, doubt, preparation, resilience, and heart behind it. This episode is both a love letter to Claude and an invitation for all of us to consider the people who have helped shape our stories, made us braver, and reminded us of what we struggled to see in ourselves. The right work bestie doesn’t give you your voice. She reminds you that you had one all along. Who is a huge part of your story? Send them this episode—and then tell them why they matter. Don’t make them guess. Don’t wait.

  The Office Mom Trap: Stop Saying Yes to Everything with Paula Mathias

  Aug 24, 202637 minS3

  What happens when being the reliable one slowly turns into being responsible for…everything? This week, Jess and Claude sit down with author, speaker, and creator of The Yes Test Method, Paula Mathias , to talk about how women become the unofficial “office mom” — taking the notes, ordering the snacks, planning the celebrations, fixing the problem — and why being good at something doesn’t automatically make it your job. Paula shares the workplace experience that made her realize how often she was making herself smaller, why an automatic “yes” can quietly create resentment and burnout, and the three questions she now uses before taking something on: Is it Yours? Is it Essential? Is it Sustainable? We also get into why setting boundaries can actually increase respect, how to push back or manage up without simply bringing your boss a problem, what happens when these same patterns follow us home, and how to know when the answer should actually be YES — especially when an opportunity scares you. Plus: Can you retire as the office mom without becoming the office villain? Spoiler: one person’s no might just be another person’s yes. In this episode: How women accidentally become the “office mom” The hidden cost of the automatic yes Paula’s Yours–Essential–Sustainable Yes Test Why being capable doesn’t mean you should do it Setting boundaries without damaging relationships How to manage up when something shouldn’t be on your plate Saying yes to stretch opportunities even when imposter syndrome shows up Why your no may create an opportunity for someone else Learn more about Paula and The Yes Test Method at PaulaMathias.com Send us Fan Mail You can watch the full episode on Youtube Follow us on IG , TikTok , Threads and LinkedIn Please rate, comment and provide suggestions for upcoming episodes Work Besties!
