In a world flooded with AI-generated content, real human stories stand out. As Aleya explains, "In a post pandemic world, in the new wave of a technological revolution where real is at a premium, people are searching for authenticity."

Your story isn't just nice to have—it's essential for connecting with clients, building trust, and growing your business. When you hide behind generic content, you miss opportunities to create meaningful relationships.

The Crisis Story Framework You Can Use Today

Need to craft a compelling story for your next presentation or pitch? Aleya shares her simple four-part framework:

  1. Start with a hook that captures attention

  2. Share the crisis and the emotions it triggered

  3. Explain your solution in simple steps

  4. Connect to the bigger picture for your audience

"If you tell stories in that framework, you will captivate hearts and minds," Aleya promises. "I've given talks that have taken that framework and extended it to anywhere between nine to 10 minutes and have had audiences in tears."

You Don't Need to Share Everything

Worried about being too vulnerable? Aleya understands: "My job is not to push you if you're not ready or not wanting to tell your deepest, darkest secret. My job is to push you past your boiler plate."

You don't need to share every detail—just enough real human experience to create connection.
