  The Advocate is the Cause-Related Storyteller who is driven to make the world a better place. As an Advocate, you are helpful and inquisitive. You spend a lot of time nurturing relationships and have a knack for creating clarity around complex issues.You tend to be good with people, generous with your time and confident in your cause. Three examples of the Advocate Archetype are:~ Viola Davis, actress~ Lady Gaga, performer~ Emma Watson, actress Advocates are great motivators and tend to be natural leaders. They are often highly respected individuals and connect with people on a deep, emotional level. They also enjoy cultivating conversation around meaningful topics. The shadow side of the Advocate is that the passion for political, social and environmental cause is often so close to their hearts, they can often burn out if they neglect to balance their time and energy. If you identify with the Advocate Archetype, then you no doubt have identified an important cause or purpose behind the stories you tell and the work you do. You see the Big Picture and notice the people on the fringes who are not a part of the dominant voice or participating in public conversation.Your cause-driven story most likely stems from personal experience which makes it so much more powerful.If you’re an Advocate, then thank you for stepping up and lending your voice to the causes that matter most to you. It’s so easy to be apathetic in this day and age. Advocates are not content to remain silent – and their stories are the light that leads others to true change.“Each time a woman stands up for herself, without knowing it possibly, without claiming it, she stands up for all women.”~ Maya AngelouHi, I'm Kerry! ✨For more than 20 years, I've been helping women amplify their voices by building purpose-driven platforms.Besides speaking on stages across North America and hosting my own conferences, I've also booked hundreds of speakers for events in sectors from business to health care.

  The Activist

  Image Source

  The Activist is the Action-Driven Storyteller who rallies people to take action. Activists engage in storytelling that spurs social, political or environmental change. They are passionate, courageous and committed to their cause. They often exhibit leadership qualities and are excellent communicators. Three examples of the Activist Archetype are:~ Emma Gonzalez ~ Autumn Pelletier~ The SuffragettesActivists tend to be highly organized since their end goal is to move people to action. And not just any action, but action that opposes the status quo. They must have leadership qualities and be excellent communicators. While Activists are courageous, compassionate and empowering, the shadow side of the archetype is that they can become disheartened when confronted with the apathy and inaction of the powers that be and others around them.When it comes to storytelling, the secret is not to do it alone. Imagine the advantage of having a team member who fits the Ambassador Archetype to help bring people together, not to mention the Advocate Archetype who can make a complex social, political or environmental issue clear for ordinary folks. When that important groundwork has been laid, the Activist has the ideal environment for calling people to action. If you fit the profile of the Activist, take the time to reach out to the people around you and begin assembling a team that can help you accomplish the important work you feel led to do in the world. Because together, we’re stronger – even when it comes to storytelling."Our words have power, but our actions shape our lives." ~ Rachel HollisHi, I'm Kerry! ✨For more than 20 years, I've been helping women amplify their voices by building purpose-driven platforms.Besides speaking on stages across North America and hosting my own conferences, I've also booked hundreds of speakers for events in sectors from business to health care.

  The Anarchist

  Image Source

  The Anarchist is the Rebellious Storyteller who isn’t afraid to disrupt the status quo and start a revolution. Disruption is at the heart of the Anarchist Archetype.There’s a famous saying that "Well-behaved women rarely make history." And this is definitely true of the women who fit the Anarchist Archetype. Anarchists no longer care about what people think of them. They are 100% sold out to the cause they stand for.Anarchists often start out as Advocates and eventually become Activists. But when their cause is ignored or dismissed by the powers that be, they can become Anarchists.Three famous examples of the Anarchist Archetype are:~ Greta Thunberg ~ Gloria Steinem ~ Ruth Bader GinsbergChangemakers have always challenged the status quo. Creating revolutions and helping other people embrace new ways of seeing the world is at the heart of the Anarchist Storytelling Archetype. This brings us to the shadow side of the Anarchist Archetype. Those who are willing to win at all costs can often put themselves – and others – in danger. The Anarchist would argue, of course, that it’s worth the risk. If you identify with the Anarchist Archetype, then you may often find yourself feeling alone and misunderstood. I encourage you to surround yourself with a healthy community of supporters who are able to help you create the change you want to see in the world in a peaceful and non-violent way.
