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?
