Closing in on my 46th birthday... every single one of these lessons that brought more fulfillment is still true.

I remember feeling like I was just chasing promotions & status at 35.

( I definitely didn't tell anyone that.)

It left me dissatisfied... a lot!

Today, I stand confidently fulfilled.

As I turned 45, I thought about the things that brought more joy, peace and fulfillment to my life.

My hope is that you experience the same!

And sorry, these aren't overnight hacks... 
Each one has its own journey.

Have dreams but afraid... don't miss #1

Feel lonely at times... don't miss #2

Feel scattered... don't miss #3 & #8.

Wanting to 'stay active'... don't miss #4

Wish for more confidence... don't miss #9

Been fired or laid off... don't miss #10.

Small favor: 
Was there one that stuck out to you? Tell others. 👇

heres the 10 that made all the difference

If you get asked a tricky question at work, try these 2 quick tips to handle it smoothly.

1️⃣ Ask for clarity. 
Don’t panic.
You’re not a mind reader.
People will respect the follow-up

2️⃣ Frame your answer simply.
Be as bottom line as possible.
Give the "in most cases" answer.

3️⃣ Don’t make it about you. 
Instead of thinking "don’t look stupid."
Think... “what would SERVE this person?”

Let’s get your story told.

Jack Dyer🕺

If your outreach feels cold, it’s usually because your presence is.

People say outreach is quantity.
More connection requests.
More messages sent.
More follow-ups.
Copy/paste.

And then wonder why replies are slow
or their new conversations go nowhere.
Because from the other side, it's COLD.

There’s no context. No recognition.
No reason to engage beyond curiosity.

Outreach works differently when someone already knows who you are.

When they’ve seen your thinking.
When they recognise your name.

When they understand what you stand for before you ever land in their inbox.

That’s not luck. That’s clever positioning.
We spend a lot of time shaping that layer.

Making sure businesses aren’t only visible, but recognisable.

So when outreach happens, it doesn’t feel like an introduction.
More like a continuation.


That’s how we approach growth at Storytold™
Build recognition first, then start the conversation.
When trust is already built up with your audience.

One of the best things I’ve learned in my 30s?


The magic is never in the plan.
It’s always in the unexpected!

→ The out-of-the-blue invites.
→ The random conversations.
→ The yeah why not? moments.


That’s where LIFE actually happens.
And here's a perfect reminder of this.

Natasha Foulke and I were live on Radio Cardiff because we met the amazing Tash Sanganoo at an event and she liked us.

Whenever something wonderful happens,
I can usually trace it back to meeting
and connecting with someone:

→ Met a designer at awwwards. in San Francisco, who invited me to check out her company in Chicago a week later. Then worked together.

→ Met the wonderful Alex Beeching on #LinkedIn, who recommended Dionne, who recommended Vanessa, who now prints all our branded merch!

→ Went to a networking event in London, met the host of the event Gabrielle, who’s now our newest writer at Storytold™

→ Even met my best friend by playing a laptop game in school - the same game that he recognised and sat next to me to play.


None of these things were planned.
But it all changed life for the better.
This post is just your reminder that:
YOUR NETWORK IS POWERFUL.


Not just business.
for joy, for adventures.
For stories to tell for years.
Say yes to things, talk to people…
And you'll see the benefit. Trust me.


I'm Jack. Natasha, Gabby and I help Leaders 
like you post less but earn more on #LinkedIn. 

Let's keep these unexpected opportunities going.

A strong website explains what you do. BUT AUTHORITY is what makes people want you.


Most businesses focus on getting the site live.
Pages written. Design signed off. Job done.

But after that, something important is missing.
There’s nothing reinforcing your message.

Nothing building recognition, or keeping you
front of mind once someone clicks away.


So your site exists… but your clients don't come.


Authority doesn’t live on a single page.
It’s built through repeated exposure.
Showing up in the right places like
#LinkedIn, with the same intent.

That’s how people arrive at a
website already convinced.
So this is where we focus.
Building your *authority*


Shaping how businesses show up publicly.
Defining what they need to be known for.

Writing stories that reinforce your position
day by day, week by week, so your website
stops doing all the heavy lifting on its own.

The result is simple. People don’t land cold.
They arrive with context. With confidence.
With a sense of who they’re dealing with.


Websites explain. Your authority *convinces*.


That’s the result of working with Storytold™
So trust is built repeatedly with your audience.
You get more sales, when you get your story told.

For International Women’s Day I’m celebrating the incredible women of Storytold.


Today I can tell you how inspiring they are
(and for it only to sound a LITTLE cringe).

Not as a tickbox exercise or because I’m trying to look good. But because they work incredibly hard, they’re extremely caring and they truly believe in our vision: to help leaders get their story told.

But more than that. One of them
(you know who you are) believed
in me before Storytold™ existed.

She’s the reason we’re here today.

Also 75% of our clients are female,
leaders from the UK and the USA,
and all are excellent at their craft.

Just like my team are excellent at ours.

These incredible women help you get your story told.

And as far as I’m concerned, they should be celebrated every day.

Many businesses think that once they’re online, the job’s done.

People can find you on LinkedIn you. Your name shows up.

There’s a page with what you do and how to contact you.

That’s not enough.

You need a REASON for people to connect from you.
To decide whether you're a credible authority...
or whether they move on to the next option.
It’s where your reputation is judged.
Not just by how it looks
But by what it says.

If you're telling stories,
you're speaking directly to the heart.
You're touching their emotional, decision-making core.

And you're making more sales.

That's why I founded Storytold™

That's what my team do for you, every day.

Why Storytelling is the most powerful thing on LinkedIn

How I realised the most dangerous place to be is in my own head.



In 2023 I’d draft a post
when I had time, feel like
an imposter, and hit delete.

I’m an introvert, so I didn't know
how to share my knowledge here
without sounding like a narcissist.

I saw so many leaders sign deals on
LinkedIn, I knew it was the place to be.
But I couldn’t get out of my own head.

Every day I stayed quiet, others were
signing opportunities that I wanted.

It was frustrating. I knew the more
I stayed quiet and invisible, the
more my silence cost me.


By January 2024,
I’d had enough.
I said F%CK it.
I’m doing this.


I realised I didn't need
to be a content creator.

I needed a system to
share my perspective,
and attract others who
aligned with my values.

So I built Storytold™


✅  We build your reputation,
❌  so you can focus on leads.

✅  We extract your message,
❌  so you don't have to think.

✅  We share your experience,
❌  so you don't look arrogant.

✅  We own the daily operations,
❌  so you can own your authority.


I built this company to solve my own
invisibility, and went from 740 friends
to 55,000+ peers following in 2 years.

If you’re tired of being the best-kept
secret in your industry, stop trying to
think your way out of it. Start operating.

I’m Jack. I help leaders get out of their own heads and into the market. Request a Private Authority Call via the link in my profile.

P.S. I’ve created free PDFs for you:

Your audience trusting you, and then buying from you, isn't like flicking on a light switch.


A CEO left a comment on my post yesterday
that completely hit the nail on the head:
"Authority is built with a lot of reps."

He is 100% right.

Nobody walks into a gym,
lifts a dumbbell just once,
and walks out ripped.
(I wish)

And nobody writes one post on LinkedIn and suddenly becomes an industry icon. Trust, like muscle mass, takes determination, hard work, consistency, repetition, and time.

You have to prove yourself over & over again with every post until the market believes you. And no matter how much you wanna post, a CEO doesn’t have time to do it properly.

You’ll be inconsistent, even with a marketing department. And like at the gym, inconsistent bursts of energy don’t get you anywhere, they just make you tired.


That is exactly why I built Storytold™


Brilliant leaders are losing deals
because they simply don't have
the hours in the day to show up.

We're the system that puts in the reps for you.
We do the heavy lifting to grow your authority,
without sapping a single minute of your focus.

You bring your career expertise.
My team and I bring consistency.

Want clients? Get your story told.
→ https://lnkd.in/eZZ8j7ZF


P.S. I don’t go to the gym. I’m too busy making leaders like you ripped instead.

Delivery isn’t the same as demand.

You can build something exceptional, yet still struggle to generate consistent enquiries. This is a problem businesses come to us with regularly.

They invest in the asset...

→ The website.
→ The product.
→ The service.

It’s well built. 
It’s professional.

But there’s no demand engine around it.

❌  No consistent messaging.
❌  No reinforcement of the problems it solves.
❌  No ongoing visibility that keeps the business front of mind.

So the work exists… but attention doesn’t.
And without attention, there’s no attraction.

That’s the gap most businesses underestimate.
They assume the asset itself will carry the weight.
In reality, demand is built before anyone ever clicks.

It’s built when your audience keeps seeing you
speak directly to the problems they recognise.

When your message shows up consistently enough
that they understand what you do and where you fit.

When your name comes to mind
BEFORE they’re actively looking.

That’s where we operate.

Not just helping businesses “show up”,

but shaping how they’re perceived when they do.

✅  What they’re known for.
✅  What they’re consistently associated with.
✅  Why someone would think of them first instead of second.

When demand is built properly, the website converts faster.
Outreach becomes warmer. Sales conversations start ahead.

Delivery gives you something to point at.
Demand gives people a reason to care.

That’s the layer we build at Storytold™
The work that makes sales land faster.
