WHAT IS A "WHEN" STORY?
At WHEN Stories™, we know that every person has a moment "when" everything changed—a moment that shaped who they are today. Maybe it was a challenge that pushed you to your limits, or a victory that redefined your path. Those moments, those stories, have the power to connect us in ways we can’t always imagine.
We created WHEN Stories because we believe your story matters. It deserves to be shared with the world, not only to inspire others but to open doors for you—on stages, in books, on podcasts, and beyond. Imagine turning your defining moments into a message that captivates an audience, builds trust, and creates real change.
This is more than just storytelling; it’s about amplifying your voice and making sure you’re seen and heard. Are you ready to share your story and make an impact?
OUR MISSION:
Every one of us has faced moments that changed our lives forever. Moments of triumph, heartbreak, discovery, and transformation. Your journey is unique, and your story holds the power to inspire, heal, and ignite change in others. At WHEN Stories™, we believe in the profound impact of sharing these pivotal experiences. Join our community of storytellers and let your voice be heard. Together, we can create a tapestry of resilience, courage, and hope. Your story deserves to be told, and the world is waiting to hear it. - Wendy Babcock, Founder
Why Your Story Matters—
And How Sharing It Transforms Your Business
Unlock the Power of Your Narrative
Every entrepreneur and speaker has that pivotal moment—the WHEN everything changed. These are not just stories; they are powerful tools that can elevate your business and personal brand. Here's why sharing your story is essential:
-
Build Trust and Authentic Connections
Sharing your personal journey allows your audience to see the real you. Authentic stories foster trust, making people more likely to engage with you and your services. When your audience connects with your experiences, they feel understood and valued.
-
Stand Out in a Crowded Market
In a world saturated with similar messages, your unique story differentiates you from the crowd. It's not just about what you do, but why you do it. Your story highlights your values and passions, setting you apart from others in your field.
-
Create Emotional Impact
Stories resonate on an emotional level. They inspire, motivate, and can even challenge perspectives. By sharing your transformational moments, you have the power to impact others' lives profoundly.
-
Enhance Visibility and Reach
Compelling stories are memorable and shareable. They increase your visibility across platforms—whether on stage, in a book, or on a podcast—helping you reach a wider audience and attract new opportunities.
-
Drive Business Growth
A well-told story can be a catalyst for business growth. It attracts clients who resonate with your message and are excited to work with someone they feel they know and trust.

Ready to Share Your Story and Elevate Your Impact?
WHY VISIBILITY MATTERS
Storytelling is just the beginning. It’s not enough to share your story in a vacuum—you need to be seen. Visibility transforms your story from something personal to something impactful. When you share your journey on the right stages, in the right spaces, you extend your reach and create a ripple effect. Visibility allows your story to inspire change in others and attracts opportunities that align with your purpose. The more visible you are, the more people you can help realize the power of their own stories.

Your Path to Visibility: The WHEN Stories Experience
At WHEN Stories™, we give you access to three powerful platforms designed to elevate your story, boost your visibility, and help you build a lasting speaker brand. Our 3-in-1 package includes a live stage, a book feature, and a podcast appearance, all paired with expert coaching to help you refine your message and create an unforgettable impact.
Here’s how each platform works for you:
-
Live Stage Performance
Why it matters: There's nothing quite like sharing your story live with an engaged audience. It’s your chance to captivate, inspire, and connect with people in real time, building immediate trust and authority.
How it helps: Whether it's in front of a virtual or physical crowd, your stage performance will showcase your expertise, position you as a thought leader, and create content you can leverage for future speaking opportunities. You’ll have footage you can use for marketing, and this exposure will open doors to more speaking engagements. -
Feature in Our Anthology Book
Why it matters: Being published in a book adds credibility to your brand and positions you as an expert. It gives you a tangible product you can share with potential clients, event organizers, or media outlets.
How it helps: Your story will live on in print, allowing you to expand your reach beyond the stage. Readers will connect with you on a deeper level, and being part of a published work gives you instant authority. Plus, having “published author” on your bio can be a game-changer when it comes to booking more stages. -
Podcast Interview
Why it matters: Podcasts are one of the fastest-growing media platforms today, offering intimate, long-form content that can be consumed on the go.
How it helps: Sharing your story on our podcast gives you access to a global audience, giving your message ongoing exposure. Each episode lives online indefinitely, helping you grow your audience and your influence. Plus, it’s another way to build trust and demonstrate your expertise in a conversational format. -
Expert Coaching to Refine Your Message
Why it matters: Even the most powerful stories need careful crafting to ensure they resonate with your audience. Our coaching ensures you don’t just tell your story—you own it.
How it helps: We work with you to refine and perfect your message so that it’s clear, compelling, and unforgettable. By the time you step onto the stage or share your story in print or audio, you’ll know exactly how to communicate your unique experiences in a way that captivates your audience and drives action.
