How to Find and Tell Your Own Story: Why Everyone Has a Story Worth Telling

How to find and tell your own story - Sita Brand smiles into a camera

Everyone has a story worth telling, yet many people believe they do not.

They say things like, “Nothing interesting has ever happened to me,” or “I wouldn’t know where to start.” This belief is one of the biggest barriers to confident communication, whether in education, leadership, creative work or everyday life.

The reality is simple: the problem is not a lack of story, but a lack of tools. When people do not know how to find and tell your own story, they struggle to recognise meaning in their own experiences, even though those experiences are rich with insight, change and truth.

Why Storytelling Is a Human Skill, Not a Special Talent

Storytelling is often misunderstood as a performance skill, reserved for writers, speakers or performers. In fact, storytelling is a fundamental human way of making sense of the world.

We use story to:

  • Explain decisions
  • Share values
  • Build trust
  • Help others understand who we are

When someone learns how to find and tell your own story, they are not learning to embellish or exaggerate. They are learning how to notice moments that matter and shape them into something clear and meaningful.

This is why storytelling is such a powerful communication tool. It is not about being dramatic. It is about being understood.

You Already Have the Raw Material for Powerful Stories

Many people assume stories must come from extraordinary lives. They imagine that unless something dramatic has happened, there is nothing to tell.

In reality, strong personal stories often come from:

  • Small turning points
  • Moments of uncertainty or decision
  • Quiet shifts in perspective
  • Experiences that changed how you see yourself

Learning how to find and tell your own story means learning how to recognise these moments and understand why they matter. Once you do, you begin to see your own life differently.

Why Learning How to Tell Your Own Story Builds Confidence

Confidence does not come from memorising scripts or learning how to sound impressive. It comes from clarity. When you know what your story is and how it works, you:

  • Speak with more ease
  • Communicate with purpose
  • Feel grounded in what you are saying

People who know how to find and tell your own story are often better communicators because they are not trying to perform. They are sharing something real, structured and intentional. This is especially valuable for teachers, leaders and professionals who need to communicate clearly under pressure.

The Challenge: No One Teaches Us How to Do This

Despite how central storytelling is to human connection, most people are never taught how to tell their own stories. We learn how to analyse stories written by others. We learn how to present information. But we are rarely shown how to shape lived experience into story.

That gap is what holds so many people back. Without a framework, stories feel messy or overwhelming. With a framework, they become manageable, meaningful and powerful.
