One of our long-term clients (since 2012) struggled to condense her message, with her initial fundraising banquet grossing $31,000.
After three months of coaching, her presentation became a clear, 27-minute masterpiece that raised $135,000. By continuing to refine her approach into "story segments," her most recent event raised over $300,000. That is the measurable ROI of a story told well.

Jeff ParkersonI first saw J Loren speak at an event 4-5 yrs ago and was amazed at how he could paint a picture with words. We invited Loren to speak at our inaugural event for Friends in Service of Heroes - DFW. We launched that night and were honored to have J Loren as our very first speaker. As usual, he did an amazing job and we could have listened to him speak for hours. I highly recommend J. Loren Norris for any of your speaking needs.
