Your Tribe Matters

Episode 248 Your Tribe Matters, artwork with the title framed with flowers

During life we often have to leave behind places and people, or transversely we must welcome new people into our lives in order to transform into the person we want ourselves to be. 

In this episode Sarah Elkins reflects on the importance of companionship and being selective of who is in your social circle when planning for the next steps in life. 


Highlights

  • Your close circle is either your greatest asset or your biggest liability.

  • What steps will you take to support your community and shed those who don’t support you?

  • Embody the qualities you admire in others into yourself.


Quotes

Quote from Sarah Elkins featuring a photo of her and her dog Toby, the quote reads "The people you surround yourself with are critical to your success."

The people you surround yourself with are critical to your success.

You need someone for each of the critical aspects of how you spend your precious days.


About Sarah

"Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision."

In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I’ve realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don’t realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they’re sharing them with.

My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home.

The audiobook, Your Stories Don’t Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available!

Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana.
