Coffee and Tea with CarrieVee | Impactful Stories with Andrea Sampson

In this engaging episode of Coffee and Tea with CarrieVee, Carrie sits down with thought leadership expert Andrea Sampson. Together, they explore how powerful storytelling can help experts in fields like science, technology, and academia communicate their ideas in a way that captivates and educates audiences.

Andrea shares her journey from the advertising world to becoming a TEDx speaker coach, highlighting her methodology of “idea-centric storytelling” — a process that helps thought leaders articulate their core ideas and deliver them through compelling narratives. They discuss how vulnerability in storytelling bridges the gap between speaker and audience, and why it’s essential to tell stories from a place of healing, using your “scars, not your wounds.”

Listeners are also encouraged to reflect on the legacy they want to leave behind, with Andrea prompting a deep journaling exercise on impact and influence.
