WELCOME TO YOUR SPEAKER ERA!
Where your story becomes your most powerful visibility strategy.
I’m Wendy Babcock, a professional speaker and founder of WHEN Stories™, who helps speakers and service-based coaches use strategic storytelling to position themselves as relatable experts, earn trust faster, and convert attention into action.
You’re Speaking. But Is It Actually Working?
You’re getting on stages.
You’re showing up in rooms.
You’re sharing your story.
But afterward you’re wondering:
-
Why didn’t more people join my list?
-
Why didn’t anyone follow up?
-
Why did they love the talk… but not take action?
The problem isn’t your delivery. It’s that your story isn’t doing its job.
BOOK WENDY TO SPEAK
Storytelling Isn’t About Being Interesting.
It’s About Being Trusted.
Most speakers are taught to tell stories to:
-
Inspire
-
Motivate
-
Be memorable
But if you’re speaking to grow a business, that’s not enough.
You need stories that:
-
Establish credibility quickly
-
Position you as the expert
-
Signal authority without hype
-
Shorten the time it takes for someone to say “yes”
That’s what this work is about.
Wendy's Signature Talk:
Your 3 Core Stories - Connecting YOU to Your Business
The Three Stories That Convert Audiences Faster: Your Origin Story, Your Proof Story and Your Visionary Story
Every speaker who consistently converts from the stage uses three types of stories — whether they realize it or not. When these stories are intentional, your audience stops listening passively and starts leaning in.
The Origin Story
Relatability
This story answers the audience’s first question:
“Can I relate to you?”
When used strategically, it:
-
Humanizes you
-
Builds immediate connection
-
Creates trust without oversharing
This isn’t your whole life story.
It’s the moment that connects who you are to the work you do.
The Proof Story
Expertise
This story answers:
“Can you actually help me?”
Proof stories turn:
-
Client wins
-
Results
-
Real-world outcomes
into stories that demonstrate competence — without bragging or listing credentials.
This is where belief starts to form.
The Visionary Story
Authority
This story answers:
“Why should I listen to you?”
Visionary stories communicate:
-
Perspective
-
Conviction
-
Direction
They position you as a leader with a point of view — not just someone sharing experience.
This Is Why Some Speakers Convert — and Others Don’t
When your talk includes all three stories:
-
Trust is established early
-
Resistance drops
-
People stop evaluating and start engaging
-
Follow-ups feel natural
-
Decisions happen faster
Your audience doesn’t just enjoy the talk. They know what to invest in next ... and why it’s you.
You Don’t Need Better Stories.
You Need to Learn How to Find Them.
Most speakers think they “don’t have stories.” What they really haven’t learned is how to mine their own experience.
Inside The 3 Core Stories: Connecting You to Your Business, you'll also learn how to:
-
Identify everyday moments that already hold authority
-
Recognize patterns that connect directly to your business
-
Turn lived experience into stories you can use:
-
On stage
-
In content
-
On social media
-
In sales conversations
-
You don’t leave with ideas. You leave with usable stories.

WENDY'S MEDIA KIT
Knowing what to do and actually DOING it are two different things! Within a week of my VIP day with Wendy I had two speaker requests from two different sites! Wendy knows what she's doing!
____ Barb Monson
This was one of the best experiences of my life.
The coaching leading up to giving our talk, the event day, the book and podcast after the talk have all been great experiences. Yes, my Visibility has grown AND so have I! WHEN Stories is such a unique transformational experience. More than I was expecting.

It’s something I will always remember
I had a wonderful experience in fall of 2024 with WHEN Stories Media Group while participating in the WHEN Stories program. It’s something I will always remember from being heard to developing my story to the community formed to the time in the spotlight to the legacy left in the professional video, anthology and podcast. I highly recommend!
